Kevin Durant to quit Golden State?
Kevin Durant has appeared to confirm he will leave the Golden State Warriors.
The two-time NBA champion was involved in a headed bust-up with team-mate Draymond Green during the Warriors’ overtime defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

Durant, 30, can become a free agent next year, with the New York Knicks, the Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers linked with the Warriors key man.
I honestly think Melo should retire
Carmelo Anthony revelation
Carmelo Anthony should retire if the Houston Rockets decide to waive the 10-time NBA All-Star, Tracy McGrady claims.
“I honestly think Melo should retire,” McGrady told ESPN when asked about rumours of the Rockets parting ways with Anthony.
“I don’t want him to go through another situation like this and people are just pouring negativity on this man’s negativity.
“Because it hasn’t worked out at the last two teams - you have a hall of fame career - just let it go.”
LeBron James blamed
LeBron James is to blame for the Warriors’ meltdown, Fox Sports’ Pablo Alsina reckons.
"Lebron moves to the west.... @warriors start fighting amongst themselves," Alsina wrote on Twitter.
"Coincidence? Nope. The @KingJames effect. #Lakers #JustGiveBronTime.”
James quit his hometown side the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer in favour of a move to the Lakers.
