The two-time NBA champion admitted the move caught him off guard and left mixed emotions about his time with the Phoenix Suns.<\/p><p>In July, the deal was finalized, stunning the NBA world. Kevin Durant himself found out in an unusual fashion, while on stage for an interview at the Fanatics Fest in New York City in front of hundreds of fans. He said he had an idea of where he might land, but never knew when it would become official.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin Durant remains unbeatable on social media&#128557; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g7IdxERbFw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/g7IdxERbFw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hoops (@HoopMixOnly) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HoopMixOnly\/status\/1968122479223919007?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kevin Durant Felt Let Down By Suns<\/h2><p>Speaking at the CNBC x Boardroom&rsquo;s GamePlan 2025 Summit, Durant shared that leaving the<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tag\/phoenix-suns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> Phoenix Suns<\/a> wasn&rsquo;t easy. &ldquo;I was a little upset because, you know.

But the duo failed to advance past the second round, with losses to the Denver Nuggets and later the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p><p>The playoff struggles led to frustration among Suns fans, many of whom pointed fingers at Kevin Durant. While he believed he had built meaningful ties with the organization, it became clear the team was ready to move in another direction.<\/p><p>&ldquo;They wanted me to go. They got what they wanted, and I got what I wanted,&rdquo; Durant said. &ldquo;We can move on and good luck to them going forward.
