“It’s not like we’re not aggressive or that we’re not physical, either,” Suns star Kevin Durant said. “We just can’t get into a shoving match because they want to get into a shoving match. Just keep playing our game.”

Phoenix Suns stars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant smiling from the bench late in Saturday’s 126-108 loss at Indiana became an instant topic of conversation on social media. There are a couple of screenshots circulating on X (formerly Twitter) with Booker and Durant grinning with 2.

Kevin Durant led the Suns with 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while Devin Booker had 20 points in the same venue he scored an arena-record 62 in his last trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in January 2024. Booker also had nine rebounds and nine assists.

The Phoenix Suns (15-18) play the second of their three-game road trip at the Philadelphia 76ers (14-19) on Monday.

Kevin Durant and Devin Booker's teammate with the Phoenix Suns awaited a decision on waiving his no-trade clause amid speculation of a potential move to the Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, or Los Angeles Lakers.

It’s impossible to predict the outcome of the 2024-25 season, but the latest loss — and that smirk — has our heads spinning once again.
