Kevin Durant made his Phoenix Suns debut Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.
Durant, wearing No. 35, was greeted by a loud ovation as he was introduced at Spectrum Center and fans held up cell phones stretching to get video of him in his white jersey.
The 13-time All-Star was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster deal in which the Suns parted ways with Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four first-round picks. Williams admitted that anything less than an NBA championship this season would feel like a disappointment, but added that is true of any of the league's top teams.
The Suns hope Durant's addition gets them over the hump after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games in the 2021 NBA Finals. "He's more than a generational talent, he's a historic talent," Williams said. "From that standpoint you can use your imagination, just from a scoring standpoint. But I have tried to have an open mind about it not to box him in and say 'he's going to be this, this and that.' So I'm looking forward to it as much as everybody else is."
