The 2016-17 Defensive Player of the Year recently appeared on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast, “What’s in Your Glass?,” and recalled a time when Durant turned cold on him.
Kevin Durant says he didn’t leave the Golden State Warriors because of Draymond Green
Draymond Green’s comments seem to contradict a statement made by Kevin Durant on an episode of the former’s show, “Chips,” last month.
After Durant left the Warriors in the summer of 2019, many believed he made the decision due to his rocky relationship with Green. The two players’ animosity was the result of a heated argument they had during the Golden State Warriors’ 121-116 overtime loss to the LA Clippers in November 2018.
The fact that Durant ignored Green’s messages after saying that the incident in 2018 had nothing to do with his Brooklyn move suggests that there was a lingering effect from their on-court altercation.
However, any issues between the two players appear to have been resolved, especially after they played together on Team USA in July.
Draymond Green appears to be relieved that he and Kevin Durant are now on speaking terms, and the former teammates have finally buried the hatchet.
