Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is one of the most gifted scorers in NBA history, and at Houston in 2026, he's still chasing relevance a full decade after his peak.

Kevin Durant (born September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C.) is a 6’10” small forward widely regarded as one of the two or three most talented offensive players the NBA has ever produced. His combination of size, shooting touch, and ball-handling at that height remains essentially unreplicable. He went pro straight out of one season at the University of Texas, drafted 2nd overall by Seattle/Oklahoma City in 2007.

His résumé is stacked: four NBA scoring titles, one regular-season MVP (2014), two NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors (2017, 2018), and two Finals MVP awards. He also carries multiple Olympic gold medals for Team USA. The controversy, of course, is that he left a 73-win OKC team to join the already-dominant Warriors, a decision that redefined how fans talk about “legacy” in the modern era.

After stints in Golden State and Brooklyn, the latter defined as much by drama and trade requests as basketball, Durant was dealt to Phoenix, where things also soured. In the summer of 2025 he landed in Houston via a mega-trade, then signed a two-year extension worth approximately $90 million in October 2025. He averaged roughly 26 points per game in his first Houston season, though the Rockets were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Lakers.

By mid-2026, Durant’s future is once again a topic of league-wide speculation. Trade rumors linking him to Dallas have circulated, but nothing has been finalized, treat those reports as unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that, at 37, he is still producing at an elite level, which keeps him permanently in basketball’s conversation.

Durant is also a significant figure off the court as a media entrepreneur and investor, co-founding Thirty Five Ventures with business partner Rich Kleiman. His business footprint across sports media, tech, and entertainment is well-documented, though precise net worth figures are not publicly audited.

Durant's primary residence is not publicly confirmed, and that's intentional. He has been linked to properties in the Phoenix area during his Suns tenure and the Houston area since joining the Rockets in 2025, but no verified current address is public, nor should it be.

Kevin Durant is American. He was born and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland, just outside Washington D.C., and has represented the United States at multiple Olympic Games, winning gold medals each time.

Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, making him 37 years old as of mid-2026. He is one of the oldest players in the NBA still performing at a near-elite scoring level.

Durant is officially listed at 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m). The open secret in the NBA is that he likely measures even taller without shoes, his wingspan and frame are what make him a matchup nightmare at the forward position.

Durant is listed at approximately 240 pounds (109 kg) by the NBA. Earlier in his career he was listed lighter (around 215–220 lbs), and he has added functional muscle over the years without losing the lean, fluid athleticism that defines his game.

No audited, publicly confirmed net worth figure exists for Kevin Durant. Estimates from outlets like Forbes vary widely depending on how they value his Thirty Five Ventures portfolio, NBA contracts, and endorsements, but no specific number should be stated as fact. He is, without question, one of the wealthiest active NBA players.

No publicly audited figure exists. Durant earns at the max NBA salary level (his 2025 Houston extension is roughly $90 million over two years) and has substantial income from Nike, Thirty Five Ventures, and various tech and media investments. Precise estimates are unconfirmed and fluctuate, treat any specific dollar figure you see online as a rough, unverified guess.

No. As of mid-2026, Kevin Durant has not publicly married. He was previously engaged but that engagement ended. No verified marriage is on record.

Genuinely unclear, neither man's net worth is publicly audited. Both are max-salary earners with major endorsements (Under Armour for Curry, Nike for Durant) and significant investment portfolios. Durant's Thirty Five Ventures and Curry's Curry Brand equity make any comparison speculative. No reliable source can settle this definitively.

Durant was publicly engaged to WNBA player Monica Wright around 2013. The engagement was called off, and Durant has spoken openly about the relationship in past interviews. That remains the only publicly confirmed engagement on record.

Kevin Durant's current relationship status is not publicly confirmed. He keeps his personal life tightly guarded, and no verified partner has been officially announced as of mid-2026. Anything beyond that is speculation.

No confirmed information is available about who Kevin Durant is currently dating. He does not publicly discuss his romantic life, and no relationship has been officially confirmed as of mid-2026.

Kevin Durant does not have a wife, he has never been publicly married. He was engaged once, to Monica Wright, but that relationship ended before marriage.

No current girlfriend has been publicly confirmed by Durant or credibly reported by reliable outlets as of mid-2026. He is notably private about his personal relationships.

Kevin Durant has not married anyone. His only publicly known engagement was to Monica Wright circa 2013, which did not result in marriage. No subsequent marriage is on public record.

No audited public figure exists. Durant's wealth comes from one of the NBA's top salaries (his Houston extension alone is ~$90M over two years), a lifetime Nike deal, and Thirty Five Ventures, a media and investment company with a growing portfolio. Specific estimates you'll find online are unverified.

As of mid-2026, no confirmed injury absence for Durant has been flagged in the verified facts provided. Durant has a history of significant injuries, most notably a ruptured Achilles in the 2019 NBA Finals. If you're seeing reports of a current injury, check a live sports news source, as any specific claim here would be unconfirmed.

No precise, verified figure exists. What is confirmed: Durant earns at the NBA max level, has a long-term Nike partnership, and co-runs Thirty Five Ventures with meaningful stakes in media and tech companies. He is comfortably among the wealthiest active players in the league, exact numbers are unaudited.

Not confirmed. No credible, audited source has certified Durant as a billionaire. His NBA earnings, Nike deal, and Thirty Five Ventures investments are substantial, but a billion-dollar net worth has not been publicly verified. He may be heading there, but "heading there" is not the same as "there."

Charles Barkley and Kevin Durant have had a long, well-documented public feud. Barkley has repeatedly questioned Durant's legacy, most famously arguing that Durant "took the easy way out" by joining the Warriors. Durant has fired back at Barkley on social media, calling him a failed player turned media critic. The beef is real, ongoing, and one of the most entertaining in sports media, but no single verified Barkley quote is confirmed in the verified facts for this page, so attributing a specific recent statement would be unconfirmed.
