Since returning from a hamstring strain on April 7, Durant is shooting 61.3 percent overall and 59.1 percent from 3-point range, rising to a career-high 47.8 3-point shooting percentage from 3-point range for the season that has him ranked third in the NBA. With his minutes limited at times as he worked his way back first from the hamstring strain and then a thigh contusion that cost him three games, Durant has averaged 26.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in just 26.8 minutes per game, so he’s essentially averaging an unheard of point a minute.
He’s also shooting 90 percent from the free throw line, giving him a 61/59/90 shooting line and a 75 percent true shooting percentage. Not too shabby. And for the season, despite its ups-and-downs, hamstrings and thighs, Durant is averaging 28.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists on a 55/48/88 shooting line. Other than the rebound number and free throw shooting ALL are higher than his career averages!
