The Golden State Warriors are in hot pursuit of their third consecutive NBA championship, but the question of whether All-Star forward Kevin Durant will leave in free agency this summer is unavoidable.
"The players and coaches have known all season that Kevin may leave," ESPN's Nick Friedell said on the network's daily basketball show The Jump on Friday. "They may win another title. He may be the Finals MVP for the third straight year, and he may leave. They came to grips with it long ago."
Durant arrived in Golden State as a free agent in 2016, famously announcing his decision through The Players' Tribune.
