There is always a possibility of an NBA star hitting rock bottom faster than he rises to the top. Zion Williamson faced that fate sometime back as his immoral activities destroyed his public image entirely. Based on recent actions, a teammate of Kevin Durant may face the exact outcome soon.

The NBA player has come to the limelight for his association with an adult actress. As the New Orleans Pelicans youngster’s character was under question for similar actions, the 7’0 feet star may get dealt the same hand.

Who is that teammate of Kevin Durant?

The Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton has been spending an ample amount of time this offseason with Katt Leya. His closeness with the adult movie star was out in public when a video of them together reportedly first surfaced. It was enough to stir yet another controversy with only a few weeks before the start of the pre-season camps.

Recently, she has uploaded an image of them together on her Instagram. With the caption of, “Sunday home cooked meals,” they were seen enjoying their weekend together. This has come as a source of worry for NBA fans as Zion had to receive backlash for doing the same a few months back.

As he got involved with another adult actress Moriah Mills, it ended badly for the 23-year-old Williamson, reducing his image to dust. Mills posted a series of online statements demeaning the Pelicans star and claiming that she was late on her period because of him.

So, Ayton’s relationship with Katt raises a chain of doubts over the possible ending.

In a team stacked with attacking firepower, the Bahamian international’s contributions in defense are a key factor in securing points for them.

High expectations from Deandre Ayton

The center is a key cog for the title contender Suns. The team’s former player Charles Barkley emphasized that point a few days back.

He mentioned Ayton’s name as the most important piece for the squad in their championship hopes. With high hopes for him, his association with an adult actress thus comes across as a source of disappointment for many.
