Kevin Durant Stuns Reporters With Bold Response to Burner Account Allegations

Kevin Durant dismisses burner account rumors, focusing instead on the Rockets' playoff push and upcoming game against the Hornets.

Kevin Durant, the seasoned star of the Houston Rockets, recently addressed the swirling allegations about using a social media “burner” account to critique his teammates. In a candid chat with Houston reporters, Durant made it clear: “I’m not here to get into Twitter nonsense.”

The buzz began with unverified screenshots suggesting criticism of teammates Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr. But Durant brushed off the drama, focusing on what truly matters-basketball. “I know you’ve got to ask these questions, but I’m here to focus on the season and keep pushing,” he emphasized after a solid practice session in Houston.

Durant’s leadership is evident not just in words but on the court. As a 2026 NBA All-Star, he’s been a powerhouse for the Rockets, averaging 25.8 points per game while shooting an impressive 50.6% from the field and 40.3% from beyond the arc.

With Durant anchoring the lineup alongside Sengun and Smith, the Rockets are gearing up to continue their promising season. They currently hold a 33-20 record and are set to face the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night.

The game tips off at 6:00 p.m. Central and will be available on Space City Home Network and NBA League Pass.

As the team comes out of the 2026 All-Star break, they’re just a game behind the Denver Nuggets for the third spot in the Western Conference standings. Durant and his teammates are locked in, ready to make a strong push as the season progresses.
