PHOENIX – Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant and guard Devin Booker have been named 2023-24 Kia All-NBA selections with Durant selected to the Second Team and Booker to the Third Team, the NBA announced today.
Durant and Booker are the 12th set of teammates in Suns history to be named All-NBA in the same season. The duo became just the third pair of teammates in NBA history to each average 27-plus points in the same season (min. 65 games played), joining Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal (2000-01, 2002-03) and Elgin Baylor and Jerry West (1964-65).
This marks the 11th career All-NBA honor for Durant with all 11 being to either the First or Second Team. His 11 All-NBA selections place him in a tie for the second most among active players and a tie for the 13th most in NBA history. Durant ranked fifth in the NBA by averaging 27.1 points this season and shot 52.3% from the field, 41.3% from three-point range and 85.6% from the free throw line, one of just three qualified players to shoot at least 50/40/85 in those respective categories.
Booker earns his second career All-NBA honor, having been named to the First Team for the 2021-22 season. He becomes the 11th player in franchise history to earn multiple career All-NBA selections with the Suns. Booker ranked sixth in the NBA by averaging 27.1 points and 11th by averaging a career-high 6.9 assists this season, one of just three players to rank in the league’s top 12 in both points and assists per game.
The 2023-24 Kia All-NBA Team was selected by a global panel of 99 sportswriters and broadcasters. The media voting panel selected five players at any position to each of the Kia All-NBA First Team, Kia All-NBA Second Team and Kia All-NBA Third Team with players receiving five points for each First Team vote, three points for each Second Team vote and one point for each Third Team vote.
