How much is Kevin Durant earning (salary) at the Phoenix Suns?
Kevin Durant is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation. The Phoenix Suns superstar has enjoyed a career that has seen him win two NBA Championships as well as be a former Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the league – besides racking up 20,000 points to be amongst the top 20 players to have scored the most amount of points in the history of the NBA.
Durant is widely regarded as one of the best forwards of his generation in the NBA, as his incredible wingspan and jump as well as an effective mid-range shot makes him one of the scariest forwards to go up against. The best years of Durant’s career in the NBA came at the Golden State Warriors, where he won two back-to-back Championships and MVPs.
While Durant handed in a trade request at the Oklahoma City Thunder to move to the Warriors, he did the same as he moved to the Brooklyn Nets.

Since his move to the Suns, fans have asked how much is Durant earning at his new franchise.
