Kevin Durant didn’t back off his trade request during a recent meeting with Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai. That meeting may have also been Durant’s last interaction with the Nets for a while.
Once considered unlikely, it’s now believed Durant is heading towards holding out if he’s not traded. Many believed Durant’s love of basketball would have him in camp, but his insistence that he be traded now seems to be leading towards a holdout.
Durant was reportedly paid 25% of his 2022-23 salary on July 1, with another 25% due on October 1. However, should he hold out, Durant will likely be fined the maximum amount for any time missed.
