PHOENIX — It may still feel like a dream, but it's very much a reality: Kevin Durant is a member of the Phoenix Suns.

The team introduced Durant to the Valley of the Sun Thursday afternoon during a 2 p.m. news conference at the Footprint Center.

Durant hasn't officially suited up for the Suns yet, but his arrival already has Suns fans buzzing. Everyone is eager to see him on the court with his new teammates like Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton.

Phoenix traded for the 13-time NBA All-Star on Feb. 9 for a package that included Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and several 1st-round picks.
