Overview

  • Reports point to an X handle, @gethigher77, as the source of leaked chats that reference Durant’s personal ties and basketball relationships.
  • The screenshots show derogatory remarks aimed at multiple current and former players, including Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun, Devin Booker, Kyrie Irving, and Russell Westbrook.
  • One leaked message uses an ableist slur directed at Jabari Smith Jr., fueling a wave of online criticism.
  • Yahoo Sports and other coverage underline that attribution remains unproven, with reactions split between skepticism and condemnation.
