Kevin Durant on Kyrie: “I don’t know the details about anything that’s going. I should know I guess because I’m part of the team, but I’ve been totally focused on the road trip. Once we get back home I’m sure that stuff will figure itself out. But hopefully it’s soon.” #nets pic.twitter.com/XrRzMfwT7x – 2:16 PM

I still can’t believe KD actually named teammates.
Imagine being Sumner or Claxton stepping onto the floor with Durant next time.
And in the exact same interview complains that people don’t think he’s a leader! Incredible. – 6:49 PM

Nick Friedell: KD on possibility of Kyrie being back Sunday. “It’s exciting for everybody. We miss Ky, miss his presence on the floor.” KD says he hasn’t spoken to Kyrie since the road trip started. He said he hasn’t been in contact with Marks/Tsai about the situation. -via Twitter @NickFriedell / November 17, 2022
Gilgeous-Alexander leads the league in total points on unassisted 2-pointers so far this season. Doncic, meanwhile, is the only player in the NBA who has scored more unassisted points at the rim. He is currently averaging 24.0 drives per game, which is just shy of the record for the most among any player since the league began tracking as much in 2013. The previous records were Gilgeous-Alexander during the 2020-21 campaign (25.2) and Gilgeous-Alexander last season (23.9). For comparison, the Warriors averaged just 23.9 drives per game during the season in which they won the championship with Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry in 2018. -via For The Win / November 17, 2022
Patrick Beverley on guarding Kevin Durant: He didn’t want to dribble the ball against me. He was bringing the ball up. I’d pick him up, he’d get off it. You know what I’m saying? That’s the thing people don’t understand when it comes to basketball. … I’m ready for you. I’m picking you up at full court. I’m picking you up at half. Don’t pass, don’t get off of it, let’s f—— go. -via YouTube / November 16, 2022
