HOUSTON, Texas \u2014 Former Texas Basketball legend and current Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant was selected as a reserve for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game as voted on by head coaches in the Western Conference. Durant now has the fourth-most All-Star selections in NBA history with 16, trailing only LeBron James (22), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (19) and Kobe Bryant (18).<\/p>\n
Durant was 21 years old when he made his All-Star debut in 2010 and has twice been named All-Star MVP (2012 and 2019). He is one of four former Longhorns to be selected to the NBA All-Star Game, joined by Slater Martin, LaMarcus Aldridge and Jarrett Allen.<\/p>\n
Durant is averaging a team-best 26.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 36.8 minutes per game this season. He has converted 51.0-percent from the floor, including a 40.5-percent mark from three-point range, and 88.6-percent from the free throw line on the year.<\/p>\n
Durant has averaged at least 25 points per game over a complete season while shooting at least 50-percent from the floor and 40-percent from three-point range a total of seven times in his career, including each of the last three seasons. No other player in NBA history has more than three seasons of accomplishing the feat.<\/p>\n
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The event will feature a new U.S. vs. World format which will comprise two teams of American-born players and one team of international players. \u00a0<\/p>\n
