Ross responded to Jennings on Instagram, questioning the need for Durant on the Suns and implying that the team was performing well before his arrival. His comment suggested skepticism about Durant’s impact on the team and hinted that the Suns were doing fine before the trade for Durant.
Jennings’ comments come in the wake of the Suns’ disappointing performance in the 2023-24 season, marked by high expectations and a star-studded lineup featuring Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant. The Suns started the season with promise, stringing together seven consecutive wins and maintaining an 11-6 record despite injury setbacks. However, the team’s fortunes have taken a downturn, with a current record of 14-15 and a noticeable slide down the Western Conference standings.
The big three of Beal, Booker, and Durant, who were expected to lead the Suns to championship contention, have only played one game together. The supporting cast has struggled to consistently contribute, and head coach Frank Vogel is under scrutiny for the team’s performance.
This exchange on social media highlights the frustration and criticism surrounding the Phoenix Suns, particularly in relation to Kevin Durant’s presence on the team. As the Suns navigate a challenging stretch in the season, former players and fans are expressing their opinions on what might be contributing to the team’s struggles and potential solutions, with Ross providing a candid response to Jennings’ comments.
Kevin Durant Fires Back At Report Saying That He Is Frustrated At Suns
Kevin Durant has responded to reports claiming he is frustrated with the Phoenix Suns. The response came after a Christmas Day loss to the Dallas Mavericks and a report from Adrian Wojnarowski suggesting Durant’s frustration with the Suns.
In an Instagram comment, Durant expressed his disbelief at the report, stating:
“Woj says somebody else ‘feels’ that I’m frustrated, and it turned into me being mentally checked out. This sht crazy, these people can flat-out lie on my name and make sht up, and you people will believe it. But when my teammates and coaches speak on how I am as a teammate, you ignore it lol.”
Wojnarowski’s report hinted at Durant’s frustration within the Phoenix organization, particularly due to missed games for Bradley Beal. The report suggested that the Suns lack the assets to improve the team, emphasizing the short window they have to win big with Durant playing at an All-NBA level.
Durant’s on-court performance during the Christmas Day game raised questions, as he scored 16 points on 4-11 shooting and appeared disengaged at times. The Suns, who had high expectations with the trio of Durant, Beal, and Devin Booker, have faced challenges and fallen to the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 14-15 record.
Durant, known for switching teams in the past, has faced criticism, and fans are closely monitoring his contributions to the Suns. Despite his individual success this season, the team’s performance and Durant’s reported frustration have added to the pressure on the Phoenix Suns.
