Five years later, did Kevin Durant’s free agency mean anything?

Kevin Durant was not on the court for his Phoenix Suns’ 119-116 win over the Knicks on Sunday.

Rather, the Suns’ star scorer sat out with a foot injury and was a simple spectator from the bench when Devin Booker hit the dagger three with 1.7 seconds remaining. Phoenix acquired Durant from the Brooklyn Nets for Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson last February.

Durant, as expected has thrived in Phoenix. He ranks second in the league in scoring with 31.4 points per game. The 35-year-old is also still effective, shooting over 52% from three and owning a true shooting percentage (TS%) of 65.
