Former Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant followed through on his claim after saying he’d delete a tweet arguing that he wasn’t behind Bruce Brown being retained by the team.
Following an exchange between fans after Brown’s 21-point performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, KD jumped in to attempt to clear things up.

“At some point, Nets Twitter has to stop making s— up… I know, I know, I’m soft for this tweet. I’ll delete soon,” Durant said, via Dan Benton of Larry Brown Sports.
The conversation dates back to Brown’s appearance on “The Dan Le Batard Show” last month where the Denver Nugget said he didn’t “think it was the Nets’ front office organization who made that decision [to let him walk]. Because from what I’ve heard, [Brooklyn] wanted me back.”
Brown wouldn’t say who he believed the Nets player was, but some upset fans quickly came to the conclusion that it was Durant.
The 26-year-old has since become a key piece to the Nuggets’ championship puzzle, as they’re now just one win away from winning the franchise’s first NBA championship.
