New York City appears to have a 50 percent chance of landing Kevin Durant.

The prized free agent has narrowed his list of summer suitors down to four and the Knicks and Nets are two of them, according to ESPN. The two New York clubs, along with the Warriors and Clippers, are the teams Durant plans to engage when free agency opens Sunday. There is no surprise team among the group. They are all teams the perennial All-Star has been reported to be interested in.

Durant, who is rehabbing in New York after surgery to repair his torn Achilles, has long been linked to the Knicks and Nets. Brooklyn has recently become the favorite to land Kyrie Irving and dream of pairing him with Durant. The Knicks still believe they are in the Durant hunt — as do league sources. The Knicks are also expected to be in play for Kawhi Leonard.

The former MVP will miss all of next season and he declined his $31.5 million player option with the Warriors. Golden State can still offer him the most lucrative contract at $221.3 million over five seasons.
