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, who is a Commanders fan, took to X to voice his disapproval of the dance.

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.

Booker, a Michigan native and Lions fan, wore a Lions jacket and a pair of special Book 1s prior to the game.

Durant wore a Commanders jersey prior to the game to show his support of the team.

The Commanders would go on to defeat the Lions 45-31 to advance to their first NFC Championship since January 1992.

Following the game, Durant posted a video on X of his pregame dance in honor of the Commanders win.
