Kevin Durant has played for the Suns since the middle of the 2022-23 season, but his tenure was marred by playoff losses and disappointments, including missing the postseason after finishing 11th with a 36-46 record.

Durant now gets a fresh start with the Rockets, where he will team up with former NBA champion guard Fred VanVleet and rising star Alperen Sengun. The Rockets won 52 games last season and were the second seed but lost in the first round against the Golden State Warriors.
