Kevin Durant, Suns vs. Victor Wembanyama, Spurs Set for Texas Longhorns' Moody Center

Jack MurrayAug 15, 2024

Kevin Durant will be back on a collegiate basketball court in Texas in 2024-25.

The 14-time All-Star and his Phoenix Suns were scheduled for a "special on-campus NBA Game" at the University of Texas' Moody Center.

The Suns will be taking on Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. The game is scheduled for Feb. 20 at 9:30 p.m. ET.

The Moody Center is a familiar venue for Durant. He played collegiately at Texas during the 2006-07 season and it's safe to say he made quite the impact. He averaged 25.8 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 35 games. Texas would go 25-10 and earned a No. 4 seed in that year's NCAA Tournament.

He translated this successfully into his NBA career. He has averaged 27.3 points, seven rebounds and 4.4 assists across his 16-year NBA career. He has also won two NBA titles and the 2013-14 MVP.

He has returned to Austin multiple times since he left campus in 2007 but the February matchup will be his first competitive game on the court since suiting up for the Longhorns.
