Durant ambled from the Toyota Center loading dock to the locker room, where he changed into a Houston Rockets uniform for the first time.

Durant has signed a contract extension that could keep the four-time scoring champion and four-time Olympic gold medalist with the Rockets through the 2027-28 season, the team announced Sunday.

Durant averaged 26.6 points and shot 43.0 percent from 3-point range in 62 appearances last season, but the Suns missed the playoffs with a 36-46 record.
