Kevin Durant Debuts Tonight on ESPN
By Mark Fagan, 2:55PM, Wed. Oct. 31, 2007
Last year's UT superstar is this year's Seattle Supersonics rookie. Kevin Durant, one year removed from high school and second overall pick in the draft, makes his National Basketball Association debut tonight on national television. Cable TV that is. After becoming one of the most dominant players in UT basketball history, we'll see how KD adjusts to playing with the big boys. Durant is suffering from sprained left ankle but will most likely participate in tonight's game. Catch his debut tonight on ESPN at 9:30pm against Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns. For more, check out this AOL sports blog about KD and his youthfulness.
Two years after leaving UT for the bigs, LaMarcus Aldridge had a career game for the Portland Trailblazers in a losing effort against the San Antonio Spurs last night. Aldridge played 36 minutes shooting 12 of 19 from the field, a perfect three of three from the free-throw line picking up 27 total points as well as two blocks. With first overall pick Greg Oden out for the year, Portland will need all they can get from Aldridge.
