Kevin Durant: News, stats and game updates

Kevin Durant is one of the easiest players to watch and the toughest to stop. He blends height, shooting and ball skills in a way few players ever have. On this tag page you’ll find straight-up news, quick game takeaways, injury notes and useful context about what Durant does on the floor.

Quick profile and why he matters

Drafted in 2007, Durant quickly became a scoring force. He won NBA MVP honors, multiple scoring titles and earned championships with strong Finals showings. What makes him special is simple: he can shoot over almost anyone and create shots off the dribble or catch. Opponents must respect him from deep and at the rim, and that spacing changes how teams defend.

If you’re tracking Durant, watch three things each game: his minutes, where he’s taking shots (three, midrange, rim), and whether he’s initiating offense or spotting up. Those clues tell you how involved he is and how the matchup is going to play out.
