When it comes to NBA stars and their relationships, the internet never misses a beat. From LeBron and Savannah James’ long-time love story to Luka Dončić’s engagement, fans quickly turn players’ personal lives into viral talking points.
This time, the spotlight landed on Kevin Durant after a surprising picture sparked dating rumors. However, the person at the center of those whispers has now broken her silence and put all the speculation to rest.
Did a Drake Concert Spark a New NBA Romance?
During a Drake concert in August, former WNBA player Liz Cambage posted an Instagram Story that showed her alongside Durant. The innocent picture quickly went viral across social media platforms, igniting speculation that the two might be romantically involved.
However, Cambage recently sat down with “TMZ Sports” to address the swirling rumors. She explained that it makes no sense for her to reveal a new relationship at a Drake concert, of all places, and added that the only love of her life right now is basketball.
“You think I’m gonna hard launch a relationship shooting a jump shot at a Drake concert?!… Just hoops, baby. Married to the game!” said Cambage during the short interview.
For those unfamiliar with Cambage’s career, she was selected second overall in the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. Over her WNBA tenure, she played in 167 regular-season games and averaged 15.8 points and 7.5 rebounds.
Her final WNBA appearance came in 2022 with the Los Angeles Sparks. Since then, Cambage has continued to thrive internationally and is currently playing for Sichuan Yuanda in the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association. Additionally, she has diversified her career by becoming an OnlyFans creator.
Why Does Kevin Durant’s Love Life Fascinate Fans?
Even though Cambage denied the rumors, it’s hard to ignore the traction they gained. Part of the reason is that Durant’s love life has long fascinated fans. Unlike many of his NBA peers who are married or in public relationships, Durant has remained notably single.
This has led to intense fan scrutiny over the years. Photos once went viral of his unmaintained haircut and famously dry skin showing through his socks, sparking jokes that he needed a girlfriend to look after him.
Durant himself has occasionally leaned into the chatter. He once made a “girlfriend” figure out of dollar bills on New Year’s Eve, poking fun at the ongoing speculation. Naturally, when a possible relationship angle involving him appears, it spreads like wildfire.
Shifting back to his on-court focus, Durant had a solid 2024-25 season with the Phoenix Suns, averaging 26.6 points, six rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. Now heading into a new chapter with the Houston Rockets, he is expected to be pivotal in guiding young talents like Amen Thompson and Alperen Şengün.
