Kevin Durant has signed a two-year, $90 million contract extension with the Houston Rockets after being traded to the team earlier this year. The deal includes a player option for the 2027-28 season. Durant’s decision to join the Rockets reportedly cost him $30 million, but it will give the team flexibility for future deals. If Durant plays both seasons in the extension, he could earn almost $600 million, potentially setting an NBA record. The Rockets have confirmed the contract extension but have not provided further details.
