As the new season nears, fans and analysts are eager to see which team will rise to the top and who will snag the MVP title. Predictions are buzzing in the media, and Devin Booker recently revealed his pick: Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns.
In a recent interview with House of Highlights, Phoenix Suns’ star guard Devin Booker made headlines with his bold prediction for the 2024-25 NBA season. He confidently named Kevin Durant as his pick for the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.
Booker’s prediction isn’t shocking for anyone who knows the Suns’ dynamic duo. Both players have hit the court together for the Suns and Team USA, and they just snagged a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. For some, this may appear biased.
Both of them recently showcased their skills in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Booker scored 12 points and contributed 3 assists and 2 rebounds, while Durant added 6 points, 2 assists, and 5 rebounds in the Suns’ 118-114 victory.
Will Kevin Durant play against the Detroit Pistons?
As the Phoenix Suns prepare for their upcoming game against the Detroit Pistons, fans are eagerly awaiting news on whether Kevin Durant will take the court. The preseason is a time for coaches to adjust their lineups and evaluate fringe players. Kevin Durant will play but likely have limited minutes.
This will be the Suns’ second preseason game after their win against the Los Angeles Lakers. In that game, Kevin’s shooting performance was a bit off. He shot 3-for-10 from the field and missed all three of his three-point attempts.
Therefore, we can hope that Durant will play his final practice game against the Pistons before facing the Clippers in the main season opener on October 23.
