Kevin Durant on possible extension: 'I'm not even thinking about it'
“I’m not even thinking about it,” Durant said after Thursday’s shootaround at the team’s practice facility. “I’m just going to play out my contract really, and just focus on that. Focus on the team. I haven’t even really had conversations with anybody about a contract. Trying to focus on basketball.”

Dunn screen for Durant, who looked inside to Plumlee, who lost the ball before gathering it.
Dunn 0-for-2 from 3. Suns down 48-45 with 6:13 left in the half. Much better 2nd quarter defensively, but Davis just recently checked back into the game in the 2nd quarter. #Suns – 10:50 PM

Current lineup: Beal, Jones, Dunn, Durant and Plumlee.
Suns have been having different combinations. This could lead to more than a typical 10-man rotation. He’s played 11 guys already and this is without Grayson Allen.
Down 48-43 with 7:37 left in half. #Suns – 10:46 PM

Kevin Durant on rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro: “They’re learning, getting some experience under their belt, getting confidence. Regular season and preseason is two totally different monsters, so those guys know not to get too high, not to get too low.” pic.x.com/uUMf1hlZPn – 2:52 PM

Duane Rankin: Kevin Durant says he’s focused on the season when asked about the extension options he has. #Suns pic.x.com/3l63BML4Zp -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / October 17, 2024
Kevin Durant has been eligible to sign a one-year, $59.5 million extension since early July. The strong likelihood is Durant waiting until the 2025 offseason, when he would be eligible to sign a two-year, $123.8 million extension in Phoenix, sources told ESPN. By waiting, Durant would earn an extra $64.3 million. -via ESPN / October 17, 2024
“They have a puncher’s chance to win a championship,” Miller later said. “They’ve got to stay healthy. They addressed their biggest need to me, which was the point guard.” -via Arizona Republic / October 17, 2024
