Kevin Durant Shrugs Off Alleged Burner Account for Rockets
Kevin Durant brushed off questions about an alleged burner account, telling reporters, "I'm not here to get into Twitter nonsense." Internet sleuths claim the account posted unfiltered takes, but the messages have not been verified. Durant has admitted in the past to using alternate accounts, and his refusal to offer a clear denial means the rumor will linger as fans sort the truth. The story arrives as Houston returns to action, giving the team a chance to shift attention back to the court. Merlin sees that, on the court, Durant has delivered what Houston wanted. He is averaging 25.8 points on 50.6 percent shooting and the Rockets sit fourth in the West despite losing Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams. If wins keep coming, whispers will quiet; if not, distractions grow louder.
