Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins were teammates when they played for the
Oklahoma City Thunder. Having spent time together, it is safe to speculate that Durant is aware of Perkins’ thanksgiving traditions and eating habits in general.The status of their relationship
Supposedly, when Durant had a calf strain while playing for the
Golden State Warriors, a concerned Perkins went to Durant’s house and looked out for him. He advised Durant to rest up. However, Durant went back on the court for the next game. This resulted in his Achilles injury.Following this, Perkins went on television and fired at the Warriors organization. He said,
“I spilled all the beans that I wasn’t supposed to say. I was supposed to keep in-house.”? Perkins believed that he was only looking out for Durant.On several
occasions, the duo has called each other out on social media. Especially at the start of this season, Perkins had been highly critical of Durant’s performances. Having said that, the feud between the two took a funny turn on Thanksgiving, thanks to the Brooklyn Nets star.ADVERTISEMENT
