Kevin Durant, according to the most recent rumors taking the NBA world by storm, is entirely checked out of the Phoenix Suns as an organization. After they tried to trade him away before the deadline, it became clear to the superstar that the team no longer valued him.
He is expected to be the premier trade candidate in the 2025 offseason, with plenty of suitors emerging as possible landing spots.
However, on Wednesday, he was spotted hanging out with Suns' teammate and rookie Ryan Dunn.
Dunn is one of the best young defenders in the NBA, and has shown some promise as a well-rounded offensive player, although his shot is streaky. He is also not the only gifted athlete in his family.
His older brother, Justin, has spent part of four seasons in Major League Baseball, last pitching for the Cincinnati Reds in 2022. He has a career record of 6-7 and a 4.44 ERA. He is spending this spring training with the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, and he pitched two scoreless innings against the Milwaukee Brewers.

He is fighting for a spot on an MLB roster and has been throwing some solid stuff this spring, although the White Sox, it would seem, are not interested in playing competitive baseball this season.
