“It’s a different feel when you’re underneath the lights, the whistle, and a real game,” said Durant. “I want to get that conditioning back.”
A 15-time All-Star and the 2014 Kia Most Valuable Player, Durant sits at eighth on the all-time scoring list.
Durant and Clint Capela were traded to Houston from Phoenix in the offseason in a historic 7-team blockbuster deal.
Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks were sent to the Suns, along with Daeqwon Plowden, two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
