Superstar Kevin Durant’s stint with the Phoenix Suns has been marred by disappointment as reports suggest he is unhappy with his role in the team. Despite the star-studded lineup featuring Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the Suns suffered a shocking 4-0 sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA playoffs.

According to sources cited by The Athletic, Durant, renowned as one of the best scorers in NBA history, has been discontented with how he has been utilized in the Suns’ offense. The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Doug Haler reported that Durant felt marginalized in the team’s offensive strategies, often finding himself relegated to the corner and not given opportunities to leverage his strengths as the offense primarily focused on pick-and-rolls.

While Durant’s frustrations were evident, there were contrasting views within the team and close circles. Some believed Durant should have been more vocal about his concerns with the coaching staff, including head coach Vogel.

Durant’s move to the Suns ahead of the 2022-23 season raised expectations, but the team’s underperformance in the playoffs has left fans and analysts questioning the dynamics within the squad. The lackluster results have cast a shadow over Durant’s tenure in Phoenix, with the need for a reassessment of his role becoming increasingly apparent.
