Kevin Durant learned there are some drawbacks to being 6-foot-11.
The future Hall of Famer’s attempt to hide behind a bush during a date Tuesday night in California did not go well, with paparazzi ultimately capturing Durant with a mystery woman.
Durant, 37, tried to blend in behind a tall bush, according to the photographer, after exiting Nobu Malibu, and waited for several minutes before the unknown woman emerged from the front door.
He reportedly tailed her into in a car before they exited together.
Durant is usually private about his romantic life and recently expressed skepticism about marriage.
He and ex-Lynx star Monica Wright became engaged in 2013 before calling it off.
“I had a fiancée, but…I really didn’t know how to, like, love her, you know what I’m saying? We just went our separate ways,” Durant told GQ in 2015.
Last year, Durant explained why marriage isn’t a pressing topic for him, saying that he’s not “expecting” it to happen.
“I think divorce is more realistic cuz the divorce percentage is higher… That’s forever though and you’re banking on that being 50/50. I don’t know if I want to take those odds,” he told Bobbi Althoff.
“… It’s like the word marriage, like what the relationship is, like do I want to be with this somebody every day and hang (out) with the same person every day.
“… I have never really dreamt of having a wedding day… When I go to a wedding, it’s like ‘oh this is cool, oh it’s dope’… It’s not like it needs to happen in my mind. But (a wedding) is still a cool event.”
Durant also explained in that interview last October that he was “not actually looking for anything” serious at the time.
Recent rumors linked the Rockets wing to ex-WNBAer and now OnlyFans star Liz Cambage before this date with this mystery woman.
“Just somebody I can hang out with everyday, somebody I can talk to that’s cool, you know the basics, somebody I can really be friends with. And not look at it as if (it’s girlfriend-boyfriend),” Durant said.
“That expectation that title, it’s that cloud that comes with that instead of us just being natural friends. No expectations is better for me because sometimes I might not want to talk to you or see you.”
Durant just completed his 19th NBA season and his first with the Rockets, with the campaign ending in underwhelming after he missed most of Houston’s six-game series loss to the Lakers with injuries.
