“I think she waved at the whole team,” Suns’ superstar Kevin Durant said at this morning’s shootaround. “She was talking to the whole team to be honest. It didn’t seem like she singled out Grayson.”
Allen also recalled the interaction today after he said plenty of people sent it to him.
“It’s so funny how a frame of something looks so out of context,” Allen said. “Even I watched it, and I was like, ‘I don’t think she even said bye to me or looked at me.’ But in the video, it looks like we’re looking directly at each other, so it’s just kind of funny how easily something like that can be taken out of context.”
Allen and Durant are thankful for Stone’s support.
“I didn’t know (she was a Suns fan), but it’s awesome to have a fan like that,” Allen said. “It’s always cool, guys talk about going and playing in New York or in LA, and (when) you look courtside, you got the big stars, big fans at the game. So it’s cool to have some people rocking some Suns’ gear.”
Durant added: “It’s always good when we get support from our fans, especially the ones who have huge platforms for themselves. They spent so much time working on their craft, they get a chance to come watch us play. We really appreciate that and so glad that she’s a fan of the Suns.”

The Suns ended up winning this game 127-109, and it has been said that Stone is a good luck charm when she goes to games.
“If that’s the case, she needs to be at every game,” Allen said.
