Kevin Durant will be joining the Brooklyn Nets when free agency opens Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Durant leaves the Golden State Warriors after three seasons. He joined Golden State in 2016 after departing the Oklahoma City Thunder. He proceeded to win two titles with the Warriors, but tore his Achilles during Game 5 of this year’s NBA Finals.
While Durant will likely miss all of next season, he’s joining a talented Nets team. In addition to the two-time Finals MVP, Brooklyn is also reportedly signing star point guard Kyrie Irving and center DeAndre Jordan, a close friend of Durant.
