Even though Kevin Durant went under surgery, he should be back on the basketball field by next NBA season. It is why the New York Knicks are hell-bent on having Kevin Durant in their team as a major performance boost.
Kawhi Leonard in Los Angeles Clippers
Kawhi Leonard was an unknown name before the NBA 2018-19 playoffs, but his demands skyrocketed when he was named MVP of the finals.
