Durant has become the Suns’ first All-Star starter since Steve Nash in 2010. He will be alongside Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, and Nikola Jokic in the Western Conference starting five.
KD is averaging 29.1 points per game this season, which ranks him 5th in the NBA. He is also 4th in the NBA from three, shooting at a 45.5% rate.
This February, in Indianapolis, Durant will play in his 14th straight All-Star game. He is one away from tying the 3rd longest streak in the NBA, which Kobe Bryant claims at 15. Ahead of Kobe is LeBron with 16 and then Kareem Adbul-Jabbar with 19 in a row.
