Report: Durant has no desire to join T-Wolves

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant doesn't have any desire to join the Minnesota Timberwolves, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

The T-Wolves were reportedly among five clubs who recently expressed interest in acquiring the 15-time All-Star.

Minnesota apparently attempted to land Durant at the trade deadline last February. T-Wolves star Anthony Edwards called Durant his "favorite player of all time" in March and played alongside him on Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Durant reportedly prefers to be dealt to the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, or Miami Heat.

However, the Suns are hoping Durant might come around to the idea of playing for the T-Wolves as none of his desired landing spots have made compelling offers, sources told The Athletic's Sam Amick and Jon Krawczynski.

Minnesota is reluctant to trade for Durant unless he's on board, Amick and Krawczynski add.

The two-time Finals MVP has one season remaining on a four-year, $194.2-million contract. He's eligible to sign a two-year contract extension worth as much as $122 million as of July 6 with the club that trades for him.

Durant averaged 26.6 points, six boards, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks across 62 appearances last season.
