Analyst Bill Simmons weighed in on the latest episode of his podcast, The Bill Simmons Podcast, saying this potential scenario is unprecedented for the NBA.

“There was a burning account allegedly associated with Durant,” Simmons said. “I thought it was a Twitter account? But it’s an account that purports to be him, and there’s a lot of indication that it’s him, just (expletive) – talking to a bunch of people that he plays with or against.”

Simmons added: “I think it might have been some smoke from the fire and if this is all true and he’s talking about guys he plays with now, I don’t know if we’ve ever been in a situation like this.”

He continued: “The social media scandal exposed someone’s tweets/texts where he was talking about, belittling, other people on his team, and then he has to go to the game with him tomorrow night. I think we’ve moved on to that.”
