Draymond Green's Take on Kevin Durant Rumor Draws Attention

Kevin Durant is still the most important offensive player for the Houston Rockets. He’s the team’s top scorer at 26 points per game while being an efficient shooter with 51%/40.4%/88.2% shooting splits. There’s no question about the Rockets’ postseason potential as long as the Slim Reaper is available.

However, there’s more to basketball than just stats. Chemistry matters, and the resurfacing of the subject of Durant burner accounts on X may put a wrench in Houston’s 2026 championship dreams. During All-Star Weekend, fans pointed to an X account that provided unfiltered opinions on NBA topics as possibly a Durant burner account, like the one that stirred controversy back in 2017.

While the forward claims his team is locked in for the remainder of the season, he cannot stop people from talking about it.

Draymond Green is one of the folks who gave their two cents on the matter. The Golden State Warriors forward shared his thoughts on the Durant situation, and his take drew reactions from fans.

Draymond Green Thinks the Rockets Locker Room Is Awkward

During the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show,” the four-time NBA champion called his former teammate’s situation in the Rockets locker room strange.

“Walking back into practice after the break … into the locker room, it probably [feels] like a ‘Key & Peele’ sketch,” Green said. “Just like a little awkward, like what do you do? ‘Uh, what’s up bro?’ I don’t know.”

He then clarified that nothing has been proven yet to maintain his neutrality: “But anyway, these are alleged. It’s alleged to be KD’s burner account. Maybe one day, we’ll know the truth. Maybe we already know the truth.”

Fans immediately started talking after Green unleashed his take.

One asked Green to look at the mirror before saying anything. “The same way you walked back into practice after slugging a teammate,” was the fan’s response to his question, alleging to his incident with former teammate Jordan Poole.

Another fan speculated that the rumors are actually correct. “The way KD answered the question about it tells me it’s definitely him,” they remarked.

“He said, ‘Maybe we already know the truth.’ I’m dumb weak,” a commenter posted.

A fan got deep into a theory, saying: “NGL, one of the only reasons I think this is true is because KD ain’t say nothing about Draymond. Not a word, but everyone else got smoke.”

“[Are] KD and Draymond cool?” another follower asked after hearing Green’s take.

Finally, one fan just knows the former Michigan State Spartans standout is enjoying the situation from behind the scenes. “Dray loving this, KD a talented weirdo,” they wrote.

Durant and the Rockets will face Green and the Warriors two more times this season: at the Toyota Center on March 5 and at the Chase Center on April 5.
