Lacob thanked Durant in the statement as well. Durant won two championships with the Warriors in his three seasons with the team. After trying to come back from injury in the NBA Finals, Durant ruptured his Achilles, as the Warriors lost to the Raptors.
Durant decided to leave the Warriors and sign with the Nets in free agency on Sunday night.
