Rockets star Kevin Durant clarifies his feelings about facing OKC on opening night

Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets are gearing up for their NBA regular-season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With this crucial matchup approaching, Durant shared his thoughts on a YouTube show about facing his former team.

During the Up and Adams Show, Durant conveyed a strong message regarding the upcoming face-off, highlighting the Thunder‘s evolution into championship contenders and their impressive performances in recent NBA seasons.

“I’m not happy, sad, or mad I missed out… I’ve won two… this was like a decade ago,” Durant remarked about meeting his former team, reflecting on his consistent performances against them over the past decade. He is set to face OKC again in the opening game of the regular season.

Durant embarks on the new season with more expectations than certainties, donning the Rockets’ jersey. He is poised to be a key player in Houston’s pursuit of an NBA title, aiming to end the more than 30-year championship drought.

Durant set to make preseason debut against Utah Jazz

Having yet to play his first game in a Rockets jersey, Durant confirmed on the YouTube show that his preseason debut will be against the Utah Jazz, with the game scheduled for Wednesday.

Anticipation is high for Durant’s debut. While his performance with the Phoenix Suns last season fell short of expectations, the Rockets’ star-studded roster offers him the opportunity to elevate his game this season.

Durant’s thoughts on the NFL season

While discussing his forthcoming season with the Rockets, Durant also shared his insights on the NFL season that recently commenced. Although a Washington Commanders fan, he had some thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys.

“I think the Dallas Cowboys can turn it around. Some of the outcomes this year have been ties and victories; they’re going to be better on the road,” Durant commented on Jerry Jones’ team in the NFL.
