Today, the American Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA) announced that Durant was elected the Magic Johnson Award for the 2024-25 season. This is also the second time Durant has won this honor in his career. The

Magic Johnson Award was named in memory of "Magic" Johnson and was established in 2001 to recognize basketball players who performed well and have good interactive relationships with the media and fans.

This season, Durant's Suns ranked 11th in the Western Conference in the regular season and missed the playoffs. He played in 62 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
