The San Antonio Spurs are rumored to be a potential destination for Kevin Durant, who could join the team alongside Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox. The Spurs have been dealing with injuries, particularly to Wembanyama and Fox, and are looking to bolster their roster with another star player. Adding Durant, a 26.6 points-per-game two-time champion, could significantly improve the team's performance and elevate their competitive standing in the NBA. With whispers about mutual interest between Durant and the Spurs, this move could align with the Spurs' available cap space and strategic goals. The potential pairing of Durant and Wembanyama is seen as a formidable combination that could dominate the league if it comes to fruition.

The Spurs have faced numerous injuries in 2025, especially affecting key players Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox, prompting the team to seek additional star power to enhance their prospects.

At the trade deadline, the Spurs made a significant move by acquiring De'Aaron Fox, and are now reportedly linked to Kevin Durant, raising expectations of a strengthened lineup.

There are league-wide whispers suggesting that the Spurs could be a potential landing spot for Kevin Durant, as reported by NBA insiders such as Jake Fischer and Shams Charania.

Despite the desire of many teams to add a player of Durant's caliber, the Spurs' current financial and strategic position might make this acquisition feasible, enhancing their championship aspirations.

The combination of Durant and Wembanyama is anticipated to be exceptionally powerful, with their complementary skills potentially transforming the Spurs into a dominant force in the league.

Joe Krasnowski, who covers women's basketball for The Sporting News, highlights the potential impact of this move on the Spurs' future trajectory and competitive edge.

Speculation about Durant joining the Spurs is fueled by mutual interest between the player and the team, with many believing that this partnership could expedite the Spurs' rise to prominence.

The Spurs dealt with a plethora of injuries in 2025, most notably to Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox.

Adding a third star to that equation won’t make these players any less injury-prone, but it certainly could help raise the Spurs’ ceiling. 

The Spurs made a big splash at the trade deadline to acquire Fox at the deadline, and are now being linked to Suns’ superstar Kevin Durant.

Of course, everyone wants to add a 26.6 superstar like Durant to their lineup, but with the Spurs' current outlook and available cap space, this move might actually make sense. 

There’s an expectation that once the Spurs figure out the supporting cast around Wembanyama that it might just be over for the league. Adding Durant to that mix might just help move that timetable forward. 

Durant and Wembanyama would be an unstoppable combination, with the two players' games playing off each other remarkably well — time will tell if the two superstars will be able to unite.
