Report: Kevin Durant not coming to Miami Heat, traded to Houston in blockbuster deal

NBA superstar Kevin Durant is not coming to the Miami Heat.

At least, not this summer.

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Durant has been traded by the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets.

The deal is for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this summer’s NBA Draft and five second-round picks, per Charania.

Miami had been among the final teams reportedly considered in contention to acquire Durant.

The 36-year-old has previously played for Oklahoma City, Golden State, Brooklyn and Phoenix, winning two NBA Championships with the Warriors.

Speaking of OKC, they’re facing the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. The game will air on Local 10 at 8 p.m.
