Kevin Durant Pushes Back Against Minutes Reduction in 20th Season

Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant pushed back against the notion that his minutes should be reduced to better preserve him entering his 20th NBA season. Durant finished second in total minutes last season and stated he is better on the court, training to play 48 minutes a night when needed. Alongside a returning Fred VanVleet, Durant expressed excitement about playing with veteran pieces as the Rockets aim to make real noise and improve their offensive efficiency in the upcoming campaign.
