The Summer of KD is over, which is sad but also means it’s almost time for real NBA basketball to come back into our lives. That’s a relief in more ways than one, but that doesn’t mean the fallout of Durant’s Twitter flameout is settled just quite yet.

Durant’s trashing of his former team and head coach on Twitter under his verified account has made its way around the NBA, and it reached Warriors HQ on Friday as the team held some press conferences before the start of training camp.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about the incident, but he said it wasn’t too large a concern for him. Kerr said he spoke to Durant about the issue, but said he’s not that big a deal for him or anyone on the Warriors.

The Warriors head coach said that his superstar “knows he made a mistake” but reiterated that the team isn’t concerned about his online interactions at all.

“It’s not anything that concerns us,” Kerr said.

That’s a departure from the report that the Warriors were “perplexed” by Durant’s online activity, though it seems that quote and story certainly don’t exist without the alt Twitter account story becoming a thing earlier this week. If it’s a one-off incident and the Warriors don’t care, there’s nothing to fear for KD or Warriors fans here.

He may not get dragged by his coach for it, but KD already knows he’s gonna hear about it from his teammates for a long time.
