The Washington Commanders have inked a fresh contract with Austin Ekeler, who spent six seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. Reacting to this new signing, Kevin Durant, a prominent figure for the Phoenix Suns and a long-standing supporter of the Commanders, offered a brief comment.
Although Ekeler’s previous season was considered subpar, a change of scenery could be the catalyst for another leap in his performance. Like numerous fans of the Commanders, NBA star Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns appears excited about his favorite NFL team’s latest acquisition.

Durant, hailing from Washington himself, has shared his thoughts on the team’s move to sign Ekeler for the upcoming season. He posted a message on X expressing his anticipation. Given the Commanders’ recent lackluster performance in the NFL, news of Ekeler’s arrival is likely to enhance the franchise’s prospects of regaining relevance when the NFL season resumes later this year.
