HISTORIC HONOR: Phoenix Suns to Unveil Kevin Durant Statue at PHX Arena
PHOENIX, AZ – July 20, 2025
In a monumental tribute to one of the most influential players in recent NBA history, the Phoenix Suns have announced plans to unveil a statue of Kevin Durant outside PHX Arena. The honor cements Durant’s place as a legendary figure in Suns history and celebrates his impact on the franchise and the game itself.
The unveiling ceremony, set to take place later this year, marks a historic return and a defining moment for Suns fans who watched Durant bring elite leadership, championship aspirations, and global recognition to the Valley. While Durant’s time in Phoenix may have been relatively brief compared to other NBA greats, his influence on and off the court has been deemed worthy of this rare and prestigious recognition.
“This is more than just a statue—it’s a symbol of excellence, of pushing boundaries, and of a player who embraced the spirit of this city,” said a Suns spokesperson. “Kevin Durant helped elevate the Suns to a new level, and we want that legacy to live on forever.”
The statue will be placed prominently at the arena’s main plaza and will depict Durant in his signature jump shot pose, a nod to his smooth scoring ability and clutch performances in a Suns jersey.
A video teaser released by the team features glimpses of the statue design and highlights from Durant’s career in Phoenix. Fans and media alike are already buzzing with anticipation for the full reveal.
