Kevin Durant Tells Fan To STFU During Brooklyn Nets Loss

Kevin Durant has never been one to keep his mouth shut about anything. The Brooklyn Nets star is always willing to defend a teammate or even criticize a youth basketball game. During last night’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks, KD got the fans involved, too.

It was not the normal situation where a visiting player chirps with fans of the opposing team. The game was in Brooklyn. A courtside fan at Barclays Center told Durant he needed to take control of the game.

A frustrated Kevin Durant took a moment to digest the fan’s suggestion. Then, he unleashed. Durant even invoked some profanity in his response.

“You’ve got to shut the f*ck up and sit down.”

Durant was as close to in control of the game as any Nets player. It was a home game, so Kyrie Irving once again had to sit out due to New York’s COVID regulations. KD dropped a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists.

That wasn’t enough to overcome the Mavs. Luka Condic scored 37 while adding 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the winning effort. Durant’s frustration might be justified. The Nets are dangerously close to falling out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
