Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets’ 2021/22 NBA season ended on Monday when the Boston Celtics completed the sweep, showing the Nets their way out of the NBA playoffs. KD was under fire after failing to lead his team to at least win one playoff game this season, and the player didn’t hesitate to fire back at those criticizing him.
That situation didn’t change and KD was seen going at it with fans on Twitter, but now he seems to be on vacation. Even though he’s out of action, Durant doesn’t miss his chance to go watch hoops somewhere else.
The 2x NBA champion was spotted at a Euroleague match on Friday, making a quiet entrance to the arena. The European competition is currently going through its quarter-finals, and AS Monaco is facing a historic team in the competition, Olympiacos.
During the first minutes of the 1st quarter, the Nets superstar showed up at the arena and was directed to sit courtside to watch the entertaining duel.

It looks like he quickly moved on after suffering a big elimination at the hands of the young Celtics team. The Nets are entering an offseason where they could see major changes, especially on the roster. It’s been reported that they want to go back to their blue-collar culture for the next campaign.
KD will try to return in better shape, as he dealt with injuries during the season. If he, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons can play like their best version, Brooklyn will be rightful championship favorites.
Meanwhile, he’s watching Euroleague games, which are defining the teams that will go to the Final Four set to take place in Belgrade this season. It’s unclear if KD is rooting for one of these teams, if he’s scouting a player for his team, or if he’s simply watching the sports he loves so much.
