The conversations surrounding the return of the NBA season continue to divide platers.
On Wednesday, Kevin Durant shook things up when he called his former teammate, Kendrick Perkins, a “sell out” in an Instagram comment section. His labeling of Perkins was in regards to his comments about Kyrie Irving‘s opposition to a restarting the season in the midst of the ongoing protests over police brutality and systemic racism across the country and the world.
The day prior, Perkins appeared on ESPN’s Get Up and went in on Irving for showing a “lack of leadership,” also accusing him of being a “distraction” as he attempts to lead a movement of players pushing for the 2019-20 season to be cancelled completely. As Kendrick sees it, since Irving is one of the NBPA’s Vice Presidents, he had already been involved in discussions about a return to play, alleging that Kyrie voted in favor of coming back.

Perkins later extended his arguments against Kyrie onto The D.A. Show, where he accused the Nets baller of creating division between players.
“No one is listening to Kyrie. The NBA is going to continue,” Perkins said, according to CBS Sports Radio. “All he’s doing is causing unnecessary drama between the NBA brothers that we don’t need right now. Him lashing out is just making news and making a whole bunch of noise for nothing because the NBA season is going to happen.”
Those comments are what drove KD to label Perkins a sell-out, going on to retweet a video of Kendrick air-balling a jumper shot as another nail in the coffin.
Right now, it’s unclear whether or not the NBA will continue with its original plan to continue the 2019-20 season at the end of July, but whatever happens, it’s sure to cause some division within the league.
