On September 26, there is less than a month left before the start of the new NBA regular season. Earlier today, the Rockets officially announced that the team's new aid Durant has officially arrived in Houston and is wearing the Rockets training suit to practice with the team!

In a big deal this summer, Durant came to the Rockets, and the Rockets sent players such as Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks. The Rockets are Durant's fifth career team, and have previously played for the Thunder, Warriors, Nets and Suns. As the long offseason is about to end, Durant has arrived in Houston recently and has started training with the team in a Rockets short-sleeved training suit!

Durant ranked 9th in the top 100 stars in the new season announced by ESPN. In last season, Durant played a total of 62 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, shooting percentage of 52.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 43%. However, the Suns ultimately failed to enter the playoffs. In addition, the rankings of other Rockets stars on ESPN's top 100 stars are as follows: Shin Kyung 25, Amen Thompson 37, and Jabbarry Smith Jr. 74.

At the same time, Durant and the Rockets encountered difficulties before the season began, and team defender Van Vreet was seriously injured and reimbursed for the season. In response to this situation, the famous commentator Spears said on the NBA Today program: "This means Durant may have to play the ball forward, which is not unfamiliar to him. I am excited for Shepard. He did not expect that he would get this opportunity, and many people are not optimistic about him. And now, Shepard has a chance."
