Watch: Warriors honor Kevin Durant with tribute video before opening night vs. Suns

Kevin Durant Warriors Suns Chris Paul the Bay Area Chase Center

Due to injuries and COVID-19 restrictions, Kevin Durant hasn’t had the chances to play in front of fans in the Bay Area since leaving the Golden State Warriors in 2019. Although he had a stop with the Brooklyn Nets in between, Tuesday’s opening night game in San Francisco marked his first chance to play in front of Warriors fans as a member of the Phoenix Suns.

Before tipoff, the Warriors honored Durant with a tribute video at Chase Center. While the Warriors welcomed back Durant to the Bay Area, the fans in attendance rose to their feet for a standing ovation for the two-time champ.

Via @BleacherReport on Twitter:

Durant spent three seasons with the Warriors, winning championships in 2017 and 2018. During his two championship runs with the Warriors, Durant was named back-to-back NBA Finals Most Valuable Player.
