How Kevin Durant and WNBA All-Star Dominique Malonga formed their bond

A friendship that began months ago in Miami rekindled earlier this week in Los Angeles when NBA superstar Kevin Durant sat courtside at Crypto.com Arena to watch his prodigy and Storm sensation Dominique Malonga.

It was an uncharacteristically subdued performance from the second-year center who scored a season-low two points on 1-for-10 shooting while collecting nine rebounds and committing five turnovers during an 82-64 win against the Sparks.

Afterward, they reconnected for the first time since March when Malonga played in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 women’s basketball league for the Breeze.

“We chatted a little bit after the game, and I just texted him after the game and asked him to come to practice,” Malonga said. “He nicely said yes and came and just showed me one or two things.”
