Veteran forward Kevin Druant's alleged burner account, which vilified Rockets teammates, began circulating on social media during All-Star weekend.
Screenshots from an account called @gethigher77, which is now private, began to spread. There's no concrete evidence that Durant runs the account, but that hasn't stopped people from debating it online.
