April 21, 2025 — Phoenix, AZ – In a moment that sent shockwaves through the NBA community, Phoenix Suns power forward Kevin Durant made a series of stunning announcements that have left fans and the organization reeling. As confirmed by ESPN, Durant held a surprise press conference this morning at Footprint Center, where he revealed news that no one saw coming.

ESPN insiders confirmed that the Suns organization was caught off guard by the timing, with one source saying, “No one expected this today. It’s a massive moment.”
Fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to heartfelt tributes, celebrating Durant’s legacy and his continued impact off the court.
