Over the season, Durant averaged 29 points per game, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists.
The forward recently returned to the pitch on Saturday after missing three games due to the COVID-19 protocol. He then played 33 minutes and scored 20 points in a win over the Golden State Warriors.
During the season, Durant missed nine of the team’s 28 games. He missed the entire 2019-20 season with an injury to Achilles.
