THE Brooklyn Nets have officially acquired Kevin Durant and the star has a new number.

The team confirmed Sunday the news first reported June 30.

As reported earlier, the Nets got Durant and a protected 2020 first round draft pick from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for guards D’Angelo Russell and Shabazz Napier and forward Treveon Graham.

Earlier in the day, Durant announced an unexpected change. The Nets star has worn No. 35 for his entire 12-year NBA career, but he announced that he’ll don a No. 7 jersey when he hits the court for Brooklyn. Durant explained his decision via Instagram on one of his business pages, Thirty Five Ventures.

Durant credited his old number for allowing him to honor someone close to him, travel, gain new experiences and form important bonds, among other things. But he says the change signifies the next chapter in his basketball career.

The 30-year-old forward won back-to-back NBA titles with the Warriors in 2016-17 and 2017-18 and averaged 26.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last season. (SD-Agencies)
