Durant wrote (via X): "Thanks to the fans and my peers for voting me in as an All star starter…..15 of em, doesn’t get old! See yall in the Bay!!!" After the news, Devin Booker was asked about his teammate. Booker (h/t PHNX Suns): "It’s a true testament to his work ethic and how much he loves the game of basketball it’s inspiring to be around... You know with him, you're gonna get it everytime he's on the floor. It's inspiring to be around." Booker and Durant have been teammates for part of two seasons. Right now, Booker is averaging 25.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 44.6% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range in 38 games.
