Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant, who recently ruptured his Achilles tendon, is represented by Rich Kleiman, who has a long history with the Jay-Z-founded Roc Nation.
Irving and Durant, both free agents and All-NBA-caliber players, have been linked together in rumors for months. Many speculated about the two teaming up with the New York Knicks, Kleiman’s favorite team. Of course, Durant’s injury throws a wrench in any potential plans the two may have had.
Irving has also been connected with the Brooklyn Nets in reports. Jay Z formerly held an ownership stake in the Nets.
Fellow Celtic Jayson Tatum is also a client of Wechsler.
