Kevin Durant, now 36, is entering the final stretch of his legendary NBA career. How many years he has left remains to be seen, but fans across the league are savoring every moment.
As the offseason kicks off, Durant's name is circulating heavily in trade rumors. The Phoenix Suns are reportedly exploring trade options for the star forward, though there’s no clear indication of where he might land. What’s certain is that the speculation is gaining momentum.
While the trade chatter continues, Durant is already making moves for life after basketball. According to The Athletic, Durant is entering a new phase of his career off the court:
"Kevin Durant is investing directly into Paris Saint-Germain. It's part of a strategic partnership which will also see the two-time NBA champion consult on PSG's 'potential plans' to expand into basketball."
Paris Saint-Germain, more commonly known as PSG, has been a major force in French football since its founding in 1970. It plays in Ligue 1, France’s top division, and has won 52 major trophies, making it the most decorated club in the country.
PSG also ranks among the wealthiest clubs in the world. With annual revenue topping $800 million, Forbes named it the seventh-most valuable football club in January.

Durant, currently with the Suns, was the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2008 and later helped lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to the NBA finals. Though he didn’t win a title there, he captured back-to-back championships with the Golden State Warriors alongside Steph Curry.
A 15-time All-Star and the 2014 NBA MVP, Durant has cemented his place as one of the all-time greats. His current NBA contract with Phoenix runs through the 2025-26 season, where he’s set to earn $54 million in his final year.
Whether he gets traded or finishes his career in the desert, Durant’s post-playing future is already taking shape.
