PLAYA VISTA, Calif. — As Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant prepare to face each other in a playoff series for the first time, Westbrook says there is no animosity between him and his former Oklahoma City teammate.
Westbrook and Durant will be reunited on the floor when the LA Clippers face the Phoenix Suns in the first round on Sunday. «It will be normal for me,» Westbrook said about what it will be like to face his former Thunder teammate. «I think people still think like there's some beef or something.
There's no beef of any [kind], so I think that's the good narrative for media for people to talk about. »But there's no beef.
I got nothing but respect for him and things he's done with his career and having to see him back from injury. There's no beef at all.
