Mat Ishbia certainly succeeded in getting Kevin Durant’s attention this week.
The Phoenix Suns owner Ishbia appeared earlier in the week on CNBC Sport. During the interview, Ishbia made two bold predictions about next season for his team.
Ishbia also looked back on the Suns’ failures of years past and specifically name-dropped the Houston Rockets star Durant, who played for Phoenix from 2023-25. Notably, Ishbia said that “bringing in super talented players like Kevin Durant doesn’t necessarily lead to championships.”
In a post to his X account on Saturday, Durant fired back at Ishbia’s remarks. “#blameKD,” wrote Durant. “Even though KD stayed on top of his game at 36 and got u back this ‘culture’ you love so much.
“Aye, Matthew acts like I got arrested for a DUI or sumn,” Durant added. “Back to threads.”
