NEW YORK (AP) — Kevin Durant’s time in Brooklyn ended Thursday when the Nets traded him to the Phoenix Suns as part of a four-team deal. The Nets acquired Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, first-round picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029, and a first-round pick swap in 2028 from the Suns, who also got T.J. Warren from the Nets. Durant is recovering from a sprained knee ligament. When he returns, it will be in a potent Phoenix lineup alongside Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton. He was dealt just days after the Nets traded Kyrie Irving to Dallas.
