On October 9, the NBA preseason continues. In today's focus battle, the Rockets had a fierce battle with the Jazz at home, and Durant made his preseason debut with the Rockets.

Durant started the game for a total of 23 minutes and 27 seconds, making 7 of 10 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored a total of 20 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. He also made 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus of +5!

Durant missed the Rockets' first preseason game. Today is his first appearance in a Rockets jersey. During the player introduction session before the game, Durant was introduced last, which is enough to show his status in the team. After the opening, Durant was not in very good condition, and all of his first three shots missed.

Until the fourth shot, Durant hit his iconic mid-range jumper. Before the end of the first quarter, Durant took the ball to the penalty area and faced multiple defenses and once again hit the mid-range jumper. In the second quarter, Durant held the ball and went straight to the basket, took off and completed a dunk with both hands on the frame. Durant was then replaced and appeared briefly again before the end of the first half, but did not shoot.

After the start of the third quarter, Durant continued to play. He quickly scored 2+1 and then made a tip-in. It wasn't over yet. Durant then hit a mid-range shot and then hit his first three-pointer today. Afterwards, Durant caused a foul and made two free throws. 3 and a half minutes before the end of this quarter, Durant was replaced and did not play again.
