Haynes has now further reported that Kevin Durant will be a part of the event that is scheduled for 10 days beginning on Friday. The scheduling of the event seems all but confirmed as Haynes reports suggested that the league was finalizing some details.
The other star attractions of the event apart from Durant will be Utah Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell, four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins and his fellow big man Andre Drummond.

Durant has been one of the NBA players to get infected by the coronavirus. When Brooklyn Nets announced the virus affecting four of its players, it included their star man Durant. However, he has recently said that he has been feeling good and doing well.
Another of the upcoming events’ participant, Mitchell, was the second coronavirus case in NBA. But the Jazz cleared him and the others of the virus last week.
