Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant achieved a historic milestone by surpassing NBA legend Elvin Hayes for the 11th position on the NBA’s all-time scoring list during the first quarter of their game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Despite the Suns facing challenges in realizing their full potential with the Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal not consistently playing together due to injuries, Durant’s individual performance has been remarkable. In the Tuesday game against the Blazers, Durant moved past Elvin Hayes to claim the 11th spot on the all-time scoring list.

Heading into the matchup, Durant was a mere 13 points behind Hayes. By the time of publication, Durant had scored 14 points, bringing his total career points to 27,314, surpassing Hayes’ 27,313.
