Kevin Durant and Steven Adams played together on the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2013-2016, and now the two are teammates again on the Houston Rockets after they acquired KD from the Phoenix Suns via trade last July. The two are apparently catching up off the court, as they were part of a group that went fishing recently. Preseason play begins on Oct. 6 before the Rockets and defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder play the NBA's first 2025-26 regular season matchup on Oct. 21. The Rockets won 52 games last year and earned the Western Conference's No. They're looking to take another big step this year with the 37-year-old Durant, a 15-time All-Star and four-time scoring champion who averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season.
