Television viewership is down from this time a year ago. This matters to Kevin Durant, a 14-time All-Star who's seen what the NBA can do.

Shortly thereafter, Durant logged onto X and started firing off posts, many of which were directed at fans complaining about the NBA. The first post was in response to a user lamenting the fact that San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama and New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns shot threes over each other instead of dunking on each other.

Kevin Durant’s 43 points carried the Phoenix Suns ’ scoring load during Devin Booker’s absence, but the Detroit Pistons handed the Suns their second straight loss, 133-125, on Saturday. Bradley Beal put up 26 points, six rebounds, five assists, and Tyus Jones shot a nearly perfect 7-of-8 in the losing effort.

Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant appears to be set for another All-Star nod as the 2024-25 season continues. Durant was second in All-Star voting for Western Conference frontcourt players, only trailing Nikola Jokic in votes after the NBA's first update.

As the Suns continue to hover around the bottom of the Western Conference standings, blowing up this core has to be a conversation that the front office must at least consider.

The first fan voting returns of the NBA All-Star voting were released today. A pair of Phoenix Suns made the list, with Kevin Durant finishing second in frontcourt voting behind only Nikola Jokic and ahead of LeBron James.
