@RoseBCUpdates Kevin Durant was looking for Angel Reese. Angel can’t go and show love before her ugly nigger gets jealous.

Durant and the Rockets are currently in Florida as part of a three-game Eastern Conference road trip. On Thursday, the Rockets defeated the Orlando Magic 113-108.

Durant previously supported the Women’s Professional Three-on-Three League. Most notably, one day after Unrivaled began its inaugural season on January 17, 2025, the former NBA MVP tweeted:

Unrivaled champion Rose BC shared several photos and clips of two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant attending practice on Friday. Rose is scheduled to face league-leading Phantom BC in the final game of the regular season.
