Kevin Durant Becomes 23rd Player to Reach 25K points in Nets’ Loss to Celtics

Kevin Durant’s Nets came up short against the Celtics on Sunday, but the 12-time All Star managed to enter an exclusive club in the process.

After scoring his 33rd point of the contest midway through the fourth quarter, Durant became only the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 career points. He finished Brooklyn’s eventual 126–120 loss with a team-high 37 points to go with eight assists and six rebounds. 

Durant is the third active player to reach the 25K mark, joining LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony as the only active players on the list.
