Durant's brother clarifies comment on Instagram post
Warriors superstar Kevin Durant signed a two-year deal with a player option for the second season this past offseason, stirring speculation that he's preparing to leave Golden State next summer.
After the perennial All-Star took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a picture highlighting Golden State's ring ceremony following the Warriors' 108-100 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, his brother managed to add to the speculation.
"Yessir brother! Filling the hand up before we get outta here," Tony, his brother, commented on Instagram, leaving fans wondering if he's suggesting Durant will take home another championship before signing elsewhere.
