Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob issued a statement Monday in light of Kevin Durant announcing on Sunday that he will be leaving Golden State to join the Nets.
In his statement, Lacob made it clear that while he is part of the franchise, no player will wear Durant's No. 35 as a way to honor the two-time Finals MVP.
"Three years ago, we were thrilled with the arrival of Kevin Durant, a transformative NBA player and one of the best to ever play the game. He provided our fans and franchise with numerous highlights during his stay here—two NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVPs, three trips to the Finals, unparalleled efficiency—and carried himself with class and dignity both on and off the court.
