Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant is calling a controversial Instagram like an accident.
Durant was caught on Instagram liking a fan comment that called former teammate Russell Westbrook the “problem” that led to his departure. This raised a lot of eyebrows and started a lot of chatter, but according to Durant, it’s a non-story because it was all an accident.
Kevin Durant tells ESPN he inadvertently liked the IG comment that was critical of Russell Westbrook as he scrolled through his timeline. "No story here,” he said.

It’s up to you whether or not you buy it. Durant has been fairly forthcoming about his questionably social media activity in the past, so perhaps he’s earned the benefit of the doubt here. That said, it’s quite the coincidence that this would be the comment he just happens to like by mistake.
