Aaron Rodgers‘ debut for the New York Jets was no exception, as the quarterback had to leave the field. The 39-year-old sustained an injury within five minutes of the game, prompting Kevin Durant to jump on Twitter.

The NBA superstar displayed his reaction to the incident surrounding the number 8 publicly. The NFL Star’s Monday night ended abruptly, leaving Durant praying for his recovery.

Their hopes went in vain as the 4-time NFL MVP received an ankle injury in the first series with his new team. Following a sack from Leonard Floyd, Rodgers struggled to carry on in his debut and eventually had to give in. Kevin, as a fan of the game, reacted to it with a Twitter post, stating, “I’m so sick right now,” displaying his disappointment in the incident.

He later added, “Get well soon 8,” as the team members helped Aaron move off the field. Soon after the Phoenix Suns star’s post, the news of Rodgers not returning for the rest of the game came out. But his x-rays showed no broken bones, so maybe KD’s prayers were answered this time around. This small gesture put one thing on display yet again.

The camaraderie between global stars

Durant’s affection for one great of the game displayed the bond these stars share despite being from different fields of sports. The superstars of the USA are amongst the leading sports figures across the world, making them role models for the next generations.

That’s why the supporters admired KD’s words and concern for a fellow star reaching the pinnacle of his career. Both Kevin and Rodgers have entertained their respective games for nearly two decades at the top level. The longevity in their career alongside their consistency are things to learn for aspiring minds.

Their brilliance has outlasted their presentation of themselves.
