Kevin Durant is undoubtedly one of the most prominent basketball players of this generation. However, it looks like his time dominance might be far behind him. The Phoenix Suns failed to advance to the next round of the playoffs after the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated them.
This is a disheartening result for all the KD fans who dreamt of seeing their favorite player win the NBA championship one more time. This is only the second time in Durant’s career that he has been swept in the first round of the playoffs.
When Kevin Durant arrived at the Phoenix Suns, the fans were thrilled to have one of the greatest scorers in the league’s history on their team. Combined with Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, everyone had high expectations from them. Although they managed to live up to those expectations in the regular season, the playoffs told an entirely different tale.
The last time KD was swept in the very first-round of the playoffs was with the Brooklyn Nets. The two-time NBA champion ended up putting in a trade request soon after. The relationship between him and the franchise was hurt as well, but Durant decided to push forward for a trade to start over with his dream of lifting the championship one more time.

The fans had expected the Suns to make a deep run in the post-season given they had multiple all-star-caliber players. However, the Wolves reigned supreme over them every single game, ending their season on Sunday night with a 122-116 victory in Game 4.
