The result of the opening two weeks of the 2024-25 Phoenix Suns' season couldn't have been drawn up much better. The Suns sit at 6-1 following another crunch time victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night in a game that was heavily impacted by Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, and Bradley Beal - but Kevin Durant is who won Phoenix the contest. Durant absolutely took over the game which ended with a 14-3 Phoenix run, reinforcing the value that he still brings as an arguably top 5 player in the league.
Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following a heartbreaking loss to the Phoenix Suns on the road.
Stephen A. Smith clapped back at Kevin Durant after the Phoenix Suns star called him a "clown" recently. On The Stephen A. Smith Show on Monday, the ESPN personality rebutted Durant's comments by bringing up Durant's company, BoardRoom, invited him to be in Durant's documentary. Smith also mentioned Durant's career choices, from leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors and his subsequent move to the Brooklyn Nets, which Smith called "one of the worst business moves" from a star in the NBA.
