Recently, Durant opened up on his potential jersey retirement, claiming that his resume warrants it.

“He should. Look at the résumé. That would warrant me to get a jersey retirement, right? Do I want to be honored by a franchise I put work in for? Of course, I would love that,” Durant told Marc Spears of Andscape. “I had some great moments there. I built some solid relationships there. Yeah, man. Hell yeah, that would be sweet. I love that organization, man. I love my time there, seriously. Me leaving, people shouldn’t doubt that, because I left there.”

There is no doubt that Durant enjoyed his time with the Warriors, and it is clear that his jersey being retired with the team would make him extremely happy. Durant helped them win two championships, and a lot of Warriors fans appreciate what he did for the franchise.

During his time with the Warriors, Durant averaged 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. He also won two Finals MVP awards with the franchise, and it seems as though it is only a matter of time before his jersey hangs in the rafters at Chase Center.


Kevin Durant Is Excited To Play In Front Of Warriors Fans

When the Phoenix Suns face the Warriors tonight, it will mark the first time that Durant has played in front of the Warriors since 2019. Durant recently opened up on playing in front of Warriors fans for the first time since 2019, noting that he had “incredible moments” with the franchise.

“Some incredible moments there,” said Durant. “We have built a bond that don’t really have to be spoken about… I feel like they’ve been supporting me well before I came there, actually. And then once I became part of the Warriors, they just went even harder in support of me, myself and my teammates.”

Hopefully, we do not see Durant receive boos from Warriors fans because he left the franchise. Ultimately, his time with the franchise was very productive, and he is certainly one of the greatest players in Warriors history. Though a lot of opposing fanbases criticized his move to the franchise, Durant certainly should get nothing but love from the Warriors fanbase.


Kevin Durant Will Try To Win The Championship With The Phoenix Suns This Season

This year, Durant might have to go through the Warriors to win the championship with the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are slated to be contenders in the Western Conference, with a lot of talent spread out amongst them.

The Suns are the definition of power, as they have Bradley Beal and Devin Booker next to Durant. Meanwhile, the Warriors are more of a balanced team, relying on the team’s role players to support Stephen Curry.

It remains to be seen if the Warriors and the Suns will face one another in the playoffs. It will certainly be an exciting matchup from a fan perspective, and seeing Durant face his former team would be must-watch TV.
