The photo that Kevin Durant, a great player for the Phoenix Suns, and Rhyne Howard, a star player for the Women’s National Basketball Association, posted on Instagram earlier this week caused a stir. It is not the first time that the two individuals have been captured in a photograph together.

This time, however, it appeared as though Durant was resting his head on top of the Atlanta Dream guard, who took a close-up photo of the two of them together. The photograph was uploaded on KD’s social media account and republished.

Even though Durant has suffered an injury, Monty Williams has stated that he is “in good spirits.”

Over the image, Howard wrote, “Oh hey,” and added an emoji of a smiling face with red hearts at the bottom.

At Footprint Center, the Suns defeated the Portland Trail Blazers by a score of 117-116 during the preseason. This scene appears to have taken place after the game. In addition to being present, Howard also posted a picture of herself sitting in the stands when she was there.

How did Kevin Durant, Rhyne Howard meet?

According to Howard, who was a guest on Mercury’s “The It Girls” podcast in March, she revealed what it was like to meet Durant in person and explained how she reached out to him after discovering that he appreciated her playing style.

That I was one of his favorite players was something that had been brought to my attention, and I was thinking, ‘Thee Kevin Durant loves me?'” As Howard put it. After that, I went to a game while I was at home on a break, and I sent him a direct message saying, “I believe I need to meet you officially; therefore, is it possible for me to come down?”

There has been no confirmation or denial of the dating rumors from either party. It is probable that they are merely friends, especially considering that Howard was quoted as suggesting that she would marry Klay Thompson, who was Durant’s former teammate on the Golden State Warriors.
