Kevin Durant became the 23rd player in NBA history to join the 25,000-point club in Brooklyn’s 126–120 loss in Boston against the Celtics on Sunday.
After the game, Durant was asked about joining the elite scoring club.
“It’s pretty cool. I should be at 30 [thousand] right now, to be honest. But it’s cool, it’s cool to reach that milestone and be amongst the greats and I just got to keep pushing and keep going and see where I end up,” Durant said.
Durant, of course, is referencing his recent injury history, which most notably includes the torn right Achilles that he suffered in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals—his final game with the Warriors.
