Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant wasn’t exactly a fan of Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs’ celebration following a touchdown in an NFL playoff game versus the Washington Commanders on Saturday.
Following his rushing touchdown in the first quarter, Gibbs used Durant’s dance to celebrate that put the Lions up 7-0 following the PAT attempt.

Durant and the Suns were in action earlier on Saturday in Detroit where Phoenix beat the Pistons 125-121.
In a postgame interview, Devin Booker said he and the team would be in attendance for the playoff game at Ford Field and that he and Durant would be in separate suites.
Devin Booker talking about the bet between him and KD over the Lions and Commanders playoff game:
“Yea we’re gonna be in 2 different suites. We might say our last words to each other in the locker room and we’ll leave it at that.”
