Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant continued his hot start to the season, leading his team to a 114-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. Durant, who celebrated his 36th birthday last month, put up 31 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block in the game.

This performance marked a historic milestone for Durant, as he surpassed 29,000 career points, becoming just the eighth player in NBA history to achieve this feat. Durant, who was drafted second overall in 2007, has played for the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, and now the Suns.

His impressive start to the season has seen him averaging 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting a remarkable 55.9% from the field and 50.0% from three-point range.

The Suns, now 2-1 on the season, will face off against the Los Angeles Lakers again on Monday night in a rematch of their previous loss.
