Warriors officially re-sign Durant to reported 2-year, $61.5M deal

The Golden State Warriors officially re-signed Kevin Durant, the team announced Saturday.

The nine-time All-Star reportedly inked a two-year deal worth $61.5 million with a player option for the second year. It's similar to the "one-plus-one" deals that he signed the past two offseasons with the Warriors. He has opted out of his player option both times.

Durant won back-to-back championships with Golden State, taking home Finals MVP honors both times.

The 29-year-old averaged 26.4 points, 6.8 boards, and 5.4 assists in 68 games last season. He improved on that in the postseason, averaging 29 points and 7.8 boards in 21 playoff appearances.

The Warriors have continued to make drastic upgrades to their roster, officially adding star center DeMarcus Cousins despite already having four All-Star-caliber talents under contract.
