According to Forbes' Evan Sidery, after trading Desmond Bane, the Memphis Grizzlies are revisiting their interest in Durant following a failed pursuit back in February.
Numerous teams have reportedly been in the mix for Durant this offseason. The Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors, and Houston Rockets are among the strongest contenders so far, according to reports.

Durant is said to have his eye on three teams where he would like to continue his career: the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets.
With the Memphis Grizzlies now in the mix, they could emerge as a compelling under-the-radar option to acquire KD.
Durant, the 2014 NBA MVP and four-time scoring champion, is entering the final year of his contract in the 2025–26 season.
Despite being in the later stages of his career, he remains highly productive, averaging 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game this past season.
Any team that acquires Durant would also gain his Bird rights, allowing them to sign him to an extension above the salary cap.
