NBA superstar Kevin Durant received a warm welcome in Phoenix Thursday, telling Suns fans he hopes to return to play soon after the All-Star break. The two-time Finals MVP is recovering from a sprained knee ligament.
Kevin Durant watched the Phoenix Suns from afar over the past few years, admiring the budding nucleus of Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton.The 13-time All-Star was introduced Thursday on the floor at Footprint Arena in front of about 3,000 fans, who showed up in the middle of the afternoon just to hear the veteran forward answer a few questions.
He later added: "I feel like I've still got to prove myself. I want to put good stuff on film every day. That's the only thing I'm concerned with at this point in my life, is putting good stuff on film every night. I'm looking forward to doing that for Suns fans and hopefully they accept me after that."
Bridges, Johnson and Crowder were all instrumental in the team's run to the Finals two years ago, where it lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games. "Everybody who was in that gym, we grinded, so I love those guys," Durant said. "I get emotional talking about them, because that was a special four years of my career, coming off an Achilles, and they helped me through a lot.
