The Nets moved the guard to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant re-emphasized his desire to be traded and was dealt to Phoenix for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, four first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-round picks.

Kevin Durant’s return to the Phoenix Suns has been a game-changer, with the team securing another win in the NBA regular season, and looking forward to play against the Brooklyn Nets.
