Devin Booker Addresses Kevin Durant Burner-Account Allegations After All‑Star Weekend Meeting

Devin Booker said he had just been with Kevin Durant at All‑Star weekend and that nothing was discussed about recent claims that an anonymous social account criticized former and current teammates. The exchange has drawn attention because both players crossed paths days earlier during All‑Star activities.

What happened and what’s new

During All‑Star weekend at the Intuit Dome, teams labeled USA Stars and USA Stripes faced off, with Booker’s USA Stars defeating Durant’s USA Stripes in the championship game on Feb. 15. In the days that followed, people on X (formerly Twitter) circulated accusations linking an anonymous account named @gethigher77 to commentaries that criticized players including Devin Booker as well as several current and former teammates and coaches.

Booker addressed the matter publicly on Feb. 19 ahead of a Suns game at Moody Center, saying he had seen Durant over the All‑Star break and that no conversation about the accusations had taken place. Booker added that he does not focus heavily on social‑media chatter and framed much of it as trolling.

Durant has been asked about the matter in recent team availability and has declined to engage deeply, saying he would not get into what he called Twitter nonsense and that he intends to stay focused on the season.

Devin Booker’s response

Booker said he did not know whether the allegations were true, noting that he had simply been with Durant at All‑Star events and that nothing was raised between them. He downplayed the personal impact of the online posts, suggesting that social‑media trolling is common and that he does not take such content personally.

Behind the headline

The accusations center on screenshots and messages that circulated after the All‑Star Game and named or criticized several figures connected to Durant’s career and current team. The anonymous account at the center of those messages used language comparing Booker to a dictator and included language flagged as not safe for work. The resurfacing of burner‑account questions also follows public acknowledgments from Durant that he had used anonymous accounts in the past, including a 2019 admission that he once maintained an alternate account to communicate more freely with friends.

Durant and Booker are connected by recent team history: Durant spent multiple seasons with Booker in Phoenix before moving to his current team. Both players encountered each other during All‑Star events earlier in the week, a proximity that has sharpened attention on any subsequent online allegations.

What we still don’t know

• Whether the anonymous account messages are actually authored by Kevin Durant remains unconfirmed.
• Who controls the @gethigher77 account and who originally shared the screenshots is unknown.
• Whether any private conversations between Durant and Booker touched on the online posts has not been confirmed beyond Booker’s statement that nothing was discussed.
• What, if any, investigation or internal team response will follow these allegations has not been disclosed.

What happens next

• Quiet containment: Teams may opt to treat this as a distraction and keep internal focus on upcoming games; trigger — team statements or lineup changes tied to locker‑room dynamics.
• Public clarification: Either player could elect to make a fuller public comment to put the matter to rest; trigger — sustained public attention or additional alleged evidence surfacing.
• No proven link: If no verifiable connection is established between the account and any player, the story may fade as teams continue the season; trigger — lack of corroborating evidence.
• Further scrutiny: More screenshots or corroborating messages could prompt deeper media and league attention; trigger — release of additional material tied to the anonymous account.

Why it matters

The episode highlights how off‑court online activity can create distractions during a competitive stretch of the season. For players, unverified allegations tied to anonymous social accounts can affect perceptions within teams and fan bases even when not substantiated. In the near term, the primary practical impact is a management of focus: both players have emphasized keeping attention on games and practices while declining to expand on the online claims. What remains important for observers and those involved is whether the matter produces verifiable evidence or prompts internal responses that could alter team dynamics or public narratives.
