Houston Rockets superstar Kevin Durant appeared on the Up & Adams Show on Tuesday, where host Kay Adams asked him what she should know about his new team. Durant spoke about the Rockets being a big team and whatnot, and then made it clear he wants to see Adams at a game in this upcoming 2025-26 season.
“I’m expecting you to come to a game,” Durant said.
Adams hilariously turned down the invite, stating she had previously come to one of his games and he didn’t even wave at her. Durant, who didn’t play in that game due to injury, claimed he didn’t know she was in attendance and added that he only found out when he came on her show a week later.
Adams wasn’t buying that, though, revealing she had told him that she was coming. Durant then proceeded to dismiss all of this as just some old news and invited her to a barbecue.
“We’re moving on to the next season, and I’ll see you at one of these games in Houston,” Durant stated. “… We’re going to barbecue down in Texas when you get out here.”
Adams wanted to know which game she should be at and where they’d go, but Durant didn’t get to the details. He wants her to come and immerse herself in the culture and realize what makes Texas special.
“I feel like fool me once, fool me twice,” Adams stated.

Better not mess things up the second time, Kevin. These two have been flirting for a while now.
Durant first made some flirty comments back in November 2024. You might have completely dismissed them at that point, but he didn’t stop there. Durant seemed to take the flirting to a whole new level recently, and you wonder if this does lead to anything significant.
Both Adams and Durant have kept their personal lives relatively private over the years. All that we know for sure about Durant is that he was engaged to former WNBA player Monica Wright in 2013. They called off the engagement a year later, however.
Kevin Durant Looks To Power The Rockets To Glory
Expectations are high for Durant as he starts a new chapter in his basketball journey with the Rockets. This was a team that got the second seed in the West last season with a 52-30 record, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors.
Durant has been seen as that missing piece that can get the Rockets across the finish line. The 37-year-old averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game for the Phoenix Suns in 2024-25, and remains one of the premier offensive players in the NBA.
A go-to scorer like Durant is just what the Rockets needed, and the acquisition made them one of the big favorites to win the West in 2026. Unfortunately, the team suffered a massive blow before the season even began, with Fred VanVleet tearing his ACL.
VanVleet looks set to miss the entire campaign, which in turn increases the offensive burden on Durant. That’s certainly not ideal at his age, and the Rockets will need the likes of Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson to step up.
