Mat Ishbia Makes a Daring Prediction Regarding Kevin Durant

In his third season with the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant is still playing well, and the team’s owner, Mat Ishbia, has expressed his clear vision for KD’s remaining years in the NBA.

With a 9-6 record in the 2024–25 NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns are vying for their sixth straight Western Conference postseason berth. Kevin Durant, whose performances this season have been nothing short of extraordinary, is largely responsible for their optimism. Mat Ishbia, the franchise owner, has big hopes for the 14-time All-Star, which is not surprising.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Ishbia stated: “We hope he finishes his career here in Phoenix,” “We expect Kevin to sign an extension, to be with us for the long term,” “You can’t sign a two-year extension this last summer, you can’t do it based on the NBA rules. So we figured after the season we’ll talk about it, take care of it.”

“(Durant) loves being in Phoenix, and we love having him,” . “Kevin wants to be here, we want Kevin here. There’s never been one grumbling of anything different.”

Kevin Durant’s priceless support

This season, Durant has been crucial for the Phoenix Suns, and Mat Ishbia has praised him for his outstanding play. “We’re off to a very good start, and he’s off to an amazing start this season,” the owner stated in the interview.

As the team’s top scorer, Durant is outscoring teammates Devin Booker (23.5) and Bradley Beal (17.8) with an average of 27.6 points per game, which ranks him 12th in the league. His steady excellence has been crucial in helping the Suns win the majority of their nine games this season. Alongside Booker and Beal, Durant is firmly establishing himself as the team’s cornerstone and assisting Phoenix in reaching high standards.

In order to guarantee that Kevin Durant completes his legendary career in Phoenix, the Suns intend to offer him a contract extension. But the star’s own choice is still up in the air.
