Kevin Durant has reportedly declined his player option and opted out of his contract with the Golden State Warriors to enter unrestricted free agency, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski added that Durant and his manager Rich Kleiman are in New York evaluating free agency options. Durant, who originally signed with Golden State on a two-year deal during the 2016 offseason, had a player option worth $31.5 million to remain with the Warriors.
The two-time Finals MVP is expected to miss the entirety of the 2019-20 season after rupturing his Achilles in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
