The Phoenix Suns wrapped up the 2024-25 NBA season with a 36-46 record, falling short of expectations and placing 11th in the Western Conference.
Despite a roster packed with stars like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, the team underperformed and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020. As a consequence, the franchise parted ways with head coach Mike Budenholzer after only one year at the helm.Kevin Durant’s Stellar Campaign
While the Suns faltered as a team, Kevin Durant delivered an impressive individual season. He put up 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, shooting an elite 50/40/85 split. Durant also became the latest player to surpass 30,000 career points and earned his 15th All-Star nod. Nevertheless, his outstanding efforts weren’t enough to lead Phoenix back to the playoffs.A New Chapter in Miami?
The Miami Heat are eyeing Kevin Durant as a prime trade target this offseason. After finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference with a 37-45 record and trading away Jimmy Butler midseason, the team was left without a clear leader. Durant could step in as the superstar to take charge
