Kevin Durant Poses with Plate of Cupcakes in Potential Jab at Russell Westbrook

Cupcakes have played a crucial role in the beef between former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

On Thursday night, Durant seemed to add fuel to this fire.

While posing for a picture with San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal, No. 35 proudly held a plate of the small desserts, a reference that goes all the way back to the day he joined the Golden State Warriors.

Keep tabs on Westbrook's Instagram in the coming days. Maybe he'll find another cupcake platter to post in response.
