NBA superstar Kevin Durant will be visiting India later this year, aiming to support Indian basketball and see the Taj Mahal, which has been on his bucket list.

Durant is currently in New Orleans for the 2017 All-Star Weekend where he will make his eighth successive appearance at the 66th NBA All-Star Game on February 19.

I will be the first NBA player going to the Academy. I’m super excited about it, to grow the game of basketball to a new level. I’m so excited about the grassroots programme. I’m looking forward to it. It should be a great time.

Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent in the 2016 off-season after playing nine seasons with the Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder.

As a member of that franchise, Durant was named the 2007-08 Rookie of the Year, clinched four scoring titles, made it to six All-NBA teams, joined the 50-40-90 club in 2012-2013 and was named league MVP for the 2013-14 season.

Playing with the Warriors in the current NBA season, Durant is averaging 25.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists through 56 games.

Durant's season-high 40 points also came against his former team, the Thunder, in a 121-100 blowout win at the Oracle Arena on Jan. 18. With Durant in such fine form, the Warriors are sitting pretty with a league-best 47-9 regular season record at the All-Star break.

Durant is also keen to visit the Taj Mahal.

"Seeing the Taj Mahal has been on my bucket list for a while," he said.
