It’s no secret that NBA superstar Kevin Durant is a huge fan of the Washington Commanders. Growing up in Prince George’s County, Md., near FedEx Field, Durant has never been shy about his love for Washington’s NFL franchise.
Durant often tweets about Washington’s games and proudly wears team gear.
On Friday, Commanders star wide receiver Terry McLaurin went to see Durant and his Brooklyn Nets face the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena in Washington.
Before the game McLaurin met up with Durant, giving him one of his jerseys. Durant was clearly excited about the gift.

After the game, Durant returned the favor, taking off his game-worn jersey and signing it for McLaurin.

While McLaurin may have met with Durant, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t rooting for the hometown Wizards. McLaurin also spent time chatting with Wizards star Bradley Beal.
