NBA Twitter: Kevin Durant impressed by Chet Holmgren’s Summer League debut

The buzz around the NBA Tuesday night and Wednesday morning centered around No. 2 Chet Holmgren going off in his summer league debut.

In an Oklahoma City Thunder blowout win, Holmgren finished with 23 points on 7-of-9 shooting that included going 4-of-6 shooting from outside while also adding seven rebounds, four assists and a summer-league-record six blocks.

Holmgren’s game was so impressive, that even Kevin Durant had to show some love on Twitter.

Durant spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Thunder, where he won his sole MVP award in 2014.

To see that Durant — one of the greatest 15 players ever — compliment your game must be pretty special for Holmgren.
