Kevin Durant Says He Learned of Steve Nash's Firing After Waking Up from a Nap

The Brooklyn Nets find themselves in quite the whirlwind as the team continues to drop games in this early part of the 2022-23 season. On Tuesday, news broke that the Nets were letting go of head coach Steve Nash and a search for his replacement would begin immediately. 

Nets star forward Kevin Durant told reporters after Tuesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls that he wasn't privy to the move prior to it making headlines. According to Durant, he learned of Nash's firing after waking up from a nap. While it's plausible, it seems less likely that Durant had no idea of Nash's eventual firing considering that called for Nash's job earlier this summer at a time that he demanded to be traded if the coach and GM were to remain.
