Kerr: 'It's Nuts' Kevin Durant Hasn't Played in Front of Warriors Fans Since Leaving

Kevin Durant left Golden State in 2019, but a combination of injuries and the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented him from playing in front of Warriors fans since.

After the Phoenix Suns' visit to the Chase Center on Monday, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said it's "nuts" the organization hasn't been able to honor Durant due to circumstances.

"It is nuts," Kerr told reporters. "It is insane. It's been a while. It's been how many years? Four years? This is the fourth year? And we've always kind of anticipated his return, and we've always had a planned 'Welcome back' video to thank him for everything he did for this franchise, and then literally every game, something comes up, or as you said, the pandemic.
