Today, Rockets star Kevin Durant participated in the team's media day interaction.

Speaking of being traded to the Rockets during the offseason, Durant said: "I didn't expect to leave Phoenix so soon, but that's the essence of the game. So I quickly began to think about who I am most comfortable working with. Uduka has always been a person who understands the value I bring. He understands my mentality and how I treat the game. He always respects this and gives me enough room to be myself. This is one of the first things that came to my mind."

Durant was traded to the Suns in the mid-2022-23 season, playing in total for two and a half seasons, playing in 145 games, averaging 26.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1/2 blocks per game.
