There are growing doubts about the San Antonio Spurs successfully trading for Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns, as reported by Grant Afseth of RG.

The Suns have been in discussions with multiple teams regarding Durant, including the Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks.

Speculation about Durant's future continues, with fans and sportsbooks closely monitoring developments in his trade situation.

Despite Durant's reported preference to join the Spurs, the two teams have yet to reach a trade agreement.

As of June 12, 2025, sources indicate a lack of sufficient alignment between the Spurs and Suns for a potential trade.

Durant has one year remaining on his contract, which includes a hefty salary of $54.7 million for the upcoming season.

Notably, Durant does not have a no-trade clause in his contract, limiting his control over his trade destination.

The 36-year-old Durant has won two NBA championships and two Finals MVP awards but has not returned to the Finals since leaving the Golden State Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets in 2019.

During his time with the Suns, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, shooting an impressive 52.7% from the field.

Over his career, Durant has maintained averages of 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, and was named to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team in 2022.

The Spurs hold the No. 2 and No. 14 picks in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft, with plans to select Dylan Harper as the second overall pick unless trade talks significantly change.

Spurs president of basketball operations, Gregg Popovich, may be hesitant to trade the No. 2 pick for Durant, especially considering Durant's age.
