Kevin Durant skeptical about NBA plan to improve ref-player relations

Count Warriors forward Kevin Durant among those who are skeptical about the NBA’s five-pronged plan to address relationships between players and referees.

“It’s a matter of what they’re trying to get accomplished,” Durant said after Golden State practice Friday. “If they’re trying to go and have a therapy session between the refs and the players, it’s pointless to do that.

“No player is going home at night thinking about a ref, what they said to a ref, and going to sleep mad at a ref. And vice versa. They just need to make sure all the rules are clear because they switched up the rules this year.
