The Golden State Warriors haven’t looked and felt like the Warriors for some time now, but Kevin Durant says things are finally starting to come together. A lot of the problems with the Warriors start and end with injuries. Steph Curry remains out if the lineup and Draymond Green has gotten a break with his sprained toe as well.
But something more troubling has come in the form of Durant’s on-court scuffle with Green, which drew headlines for an entire week. Durant’s impending free agency was questioned, reportedly on the court and then everywhere else, though KD says it won’t impact what he does next summer.
In fact, Durant says things are much better for him in Golden State now. ESPN’s Nick Friedell reported that Durant spoke to the media on Wednesday and claimed things were on the upswing in Oakland after a week in which Durant’s future and his relationship with Green drew extreme scrutiny.
Kevin Durant just spent almost 15 minutes patiently fielding questions from the media. He says the group is ‘rejuvenated’ after a rough week. He seems to be in a much better place than he was a few days ago.

Durant even talking is a good sign, as he was a bit chilly towards the media for asking about what went down. It’s impossible to fairly speculate about that, but Warriors fans certainly hope Durant is right about Golden State turning it around. It’s been a while since they’ve looked like the dynasty people have come to expect.
