Despite not having his best season with the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant still managed to stand out, averaging an impressive 26.6 points per game. For that reason, his transition to the Houston Rockets has fueled high expectations, as many see his scoring power as the crucial missing piece for the franchise. On the cusp of his 18th NBA season, the veteran forward has revealed significant insights into his future retirement plans.
“I [want to play] as long as I can. I mean, I haven’t put a number on it. I obviously think about retirement every year… I still enjoy going to the gym. I still enjoy that struggle of getting better every day and grinding as an NBA player. So hopefully it’s in my 40s, I can play until then,” Kevin Durant said, via CNBC Boardroom’s GamePlan 2025 Summit.
