Kevin Durant, at 37, aims to play into his 40s, stressing the gym grind and daily improvement as the fuel for his career. The Rockets' offseason trade signals a multi-year horizon for Durant in Houston, contingent on health and fit.

Last season with the Suns Durant logged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists on 52.7% shooting and 43.0% from three, a level of efficiency that keeps his fantasy floor strong. If he stays healthy, Durant could anchor Houston’s offense for several seasons while his contract runs through 2025-26, with camp opening Sept. 30 signaling the immediate horizon.
