SACRAMENTO — Kevin Durant didn’t just have a quiet night on the court at the Golden 1 Center; he looked like a man watching his digital world collapse in real-time. As the NBA’s elite gathered for the 2026 All-Star Game, the headlines shifted from highlight dunks to a high-stakes social media leak that has the league in a chokehold.
The “Spooked” Superstar: 0 Points, 27 Tweets?
While the Team USA Stripes cruised to a victory, Durant was a ghost. He finished the night with a stunning 0 points on 0-4 shooting from the field. But it was his behavior between whistles that caught the camera’s eye. A viral clip shows Durant walking the court, eyes glued to his smartphone, sporting a grimace that “LakeShowYo” and other fans quickly labeled as “spooked.”
The distraction? A massive dump of alleged private messages from an account linked to Durant, @gethigher77. The screenshots, which began circulating just before tip-off, feature unhinged critiques of his current and former teammates. The messages reportedly label Devin Booker and Frank Vogel as “two dictators” and take aim at Rockets center Alperen Sengun for his defensive liabilities.

What They Said
“I been cooked on Twitter enough to know that look KD got. He SPOOKED. On the phone in between games is nuts lol.”
— Andrew Leezus, Social Media Analyst
“KD new burner got exposed. Why is bro talking sh*t about all his teammates?”
— LakeShowYo (@LakeShowYo)
Locker Room Fallout: The Rockets’ Crisis
This isn’t just a Twitter spat; it’s a potential season-killer for the Houston Rockets. At 33-21 and sitting 5th in the Western Conference, the Rockets are in the middle of their best run in years. Bringing this level of internal toxicity back to the locker room could derail their playoff momentum.
The most damaging part of the leak involves Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr., the young core Durant was supposed to mentor. If the messages are authentic, Durant’s claim that the Rockets are “his team when they lose and Booker’s team when they win” (referencing his Phoenix stint) suggests a deep-seated frustration that won’t be solved by a few wins. Expect a tense media session when the team reconvenes in Houston this Thursday.
