Guests at Durant’s Thursday night VIP party at Chelsea’s new Italian restaurant Cucina Alba included Serena Williams, Polo G, Sloane Stephens, and Erin Foster, among many others.
Page Six has an exclusive interview with an insider who says that Durant, 34, was “happy and social” and had “a very chill, cool demeanor” all night long while everyone danced, drank, and enjoyed little nibbles.
“The venue was packed, and everyone showed off their moves to the throwback ’90s jams played by DJs Samantha Ronson and Jus Ske,” the source says.Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, Noah Tepperberg, David Grutman, Richie Akiva, and Cam’ron were among the other famous attendees at the party.
Whiskey Business, NFTini, and Boardroom State of Mind were some of the unique drinks served at the party. Delicious meals such as eggplant parmigiana, crispy mushroom lasagna, toro-stuffed rigatoni, and espresso-braised short rib were served to the guests.

However, the Brooklyn Nets’ off-court situation has not been ideal.This month, the Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for his persistent refusal to apologize and for promoting a film on Twitter that contained anti-Semitic themes.
“We were dismаyed tоdаy, when given аn оppоrtunity in а mediа sessiоn, thаt Kyrie refused tо unequivоcаlly sаy he hаs nо аnti-Semitic beliefs nоr аcknоwledge specific hаteful mаteriаl in the film,” the teаm sаid in а stаtement оn Nоv. 3. “He hаd plenty оf оppоrtunities tо clаrify befоre, but he аlwаys pаssed them up.
This kind of behavior, which includes denying anti-Semitism when given multiple chances to do so, is extremely upsetting, goes against our organization’s principles, and hurts the team. That being said, we think he’s not good enough to be linked with the Nets right now.Irving, 30, took full responsibility for his acts and apologized after his suspension, writing in part on Instagram, “I take full accountability and responsibly for my actions… ” Please accept my deepest apologies if my post has caused any distress to any Jewish family or community.
Durant spoke out in Irving’s defense, saying that he felt his teammate’s punishment was excessive.
Whoever is affected by this situation is in a terrible spot. In the end, it hurts everyone. “Hopefully, we can put it behind us,” he stated. “That’s just the way of the NBA now. … Everyone is expressing their thoughts on this matter, and it’s becoming monotonous.
None of that, though, makes it inside the gym once practice begins and the balls begin to bounce. Being a part of the league is awesome because of it.Durant went to Twitter to set the record straight after receiving criticism for his remarks on Irving.
“I don’t condone hate speech or anti-semetism [sic], I’m about spreading love always,” he wrote. “I want to make sure that our game unites people at the forefront.”
Irving was noticeably absent from Durant’s Thursday sporting soirée, as confirmed by Page Six.
