The NBA All-Star weekend was a spectacle, and the Houston Rockets were well-represented with Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun making appearances. However, much of the online buzz centered around Kevin Durant and an alleged burner account.

As the All-Star festivities unfolded in Los Angeles, fans on social media claimed to have uncovered a Twitter account supposedly used by Durant to engage in some trash talk about current and former teammates. The chatter added a layer of intrigue to the weekend's events.
When the Rockets reconvened for practice after the break, Durant was inevitably asked about the Twitter drama. His response was straightforward: โI know you've got to ask these questions, but I'm not here to get into Twitter nonsense,โ Durant stated.

My teammates know what it is, we've been locked in the whole season. We've enjoyed our break, had a great practice today, and looking forward to the road trip.โ

Durant, a 16-time NBA All-Star, has been instrumental in propelling the Rockets to a strong position in the Western Conference, holding a 33-20 record at the break. His performance this season is nothing short of stellar, averaging 25.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. His shooting stats are impressive, hitting 50.6% from the field, 40.3% from beyond the arc, and 88% from the charity stripe.
Durant's scoring prowess continues to etch his name in the history books. With 31,862 career points, he has surpassed legends like Wilt Chamberlain and Dirk Nowitzki, now sitting in sixth place on the NBA's All-Time Scoring list. Michael Jordan is next in his sights with 32,292 points.
The Rockets are gearing up for a challenging post-All-Star schedule, starting with a two-game road trip against the Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks, before returning to Houston for matchups against the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings. It's clear that Durant and his teammates are focused and ready to tackle the second half of the season.
