Durant headlined the star-studded lineup, which also featured veteran guards Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. That trio stood atop the most expensive roster in NBA history, which cost $220 million in salary and accrued a luxury tax bill of well over $150 million.

Cousins responded to Durant, saying that a Suns player is the individual who told him about the fistfights. Durant, 36, then replied by stating that Cousins’ source is lying. The Suns are expected to trade Durant this offseason. The future Hall of Famer wants to get traded to the San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat or Houston Rockets.
