Durant, who has maintained a close relationship with Irving throughout their careers, including being teammates on the Brooklyn Nets, said his primary concern is his longtime friend’s well-being as he works through another injury setback. “Kai’s such a strong-minded individual, but every day is going to be full of total effort and care for his body and his mind and his game overall,” Durant told DallasHoopsJournal.com. “Looking forward to him getting back as quickly as possible, but having a safe recovery, no setbacks, you know, that’s what we all hoping for. And I’m thinking about him, man, that’s one of my boys.” -via Dallas Hoops Journal / March 10, 2025
