Kevin Durant and Paige Bueckers recently linked up for an All-Star workout in a shoot-out from the baseline. The Dallas Wings superstar is in Chicago for the event, as she is the captain of Team Coop. Meanwhile, Durant is enjoying his offseason while teams figure out their rosters and strategies for the next season. The Houston Rockets superstar had a few words for the workout.
A celebrity photographer, Miles Diggs, shared a clip in which the two stars engaged in a workout session in the city. Diggs wrote “First stop!” in the post, as neither of them missed a shot in the short clip, considering both are elite shooters. Durant reshared the photographer’s post on his story and wrote:
“Is this allowed?”
Durant and the Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs in the 2025-26 season. The front office has made some small but crucial signings in the form of Marcus Smart, Bogdan Bogdanović and others.
Meanwhile, Bueckers and the Wings are on a dreamy run, as they have not lost a game this month and are on a seven-game winning streak. The superstar guard leads the team with 20.9 points and 6.2 assists per game. For now, she will focus on the All-Star weekend, which has already begun in Chicago.
Paige Bueckers describes 2026 WNBA All-Star mood in a few words
As Paige Bueckers was getting ready for a workout in her hotel in Chicago, “admin” caught up with her to check on how she was feeling before the big day. The Wings guard was excited to play with her fellow stars, as she said in a video uploaded by the WNBA on Thursday:
“The vibes are getting lit. For three days straight, electrolytes. Fun times, parties and a little bit of hoops.”
Paige Bueckers was the highest fan-voted star in the league this All-Star season. She will captain Team Coop this time against Team Spoon, which will be headed by her on-court rival, Caitlin Clark.
Even with such a streak, the Wings are fourth in the Western Conference, which shows the kind of competition the top teams in the conference are putting up.
