Kevin Durant's name has been in the headlines for much of the NBA's offseason, but the next headline won't be announcing his retirement.
"I know most people will believe unnamed sources over me but if it's anyone out there that'll listen, I don't plan on retiring anytime soon," Durant tweeted. "S–t is comical at this point."
The tweet comes after NBA insider Marc Stein reported a team executive told him during the NBA Summer League that Durant "was more apt to retire than play again for the Brooklyn Nets."
This is yet another chapter in the Durant saga that reached another level on Aug. 8 when Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the future Hall of Famer met with Nets governor Joe Tsai and said the team needed to choose between trading him or firing general manager Sean Marks and head coach Steve Nash.
