The NBA season came to a close Sunday night, with Oklahoma City at the top. Here’s a look at how several former Longhorns currently in the league performed throughout the season.
Myles Turner
As the longest-tenured Indiana Pacer, Myles Turner was the last former Longhorn to compete on the hardwood this season, falling short in game seven of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The center saw a dip in points per game compared to the last two seasons, averaging 15.6 points per game. However, Turner converted on a career-high 39.6% of shots from three-point range throughout the season.
Turner averaged two blocks per game in the regular season, ranking fifth in the league for the category during the regular season. He also recorded the most blocks this postseason with 46. The 29-year-old is expected to become a free agent this offseason.
Jarrett Allen
Jarrett Allen was a key two-way player for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. His success resulted in a league-leading field goal percentage.
Collecting 40 double-doubles this season, Allen averaged 13.5 points per game and 9.7 rebounds per game. Allen has seen improvements in shooting and scoring efficiency every year since entering the NBA, as he posted a career high in the 2024-25 season.
Allen and his fellow Cavaliers were ousted in the game against the Indiana Pacers, during which he saw some of his worst splits of the season. Allen logged seven rebounds per game and 12.8 points per game in the series.
Kevin Durant
As one of the most skilled scorers of all time, Kevin Durant was a bright spot on a disappointing Phoenix Suns team.
The 36-year-old is still putting up dominant numbers despite his age and previous injury concerns. Durant scored 26.6 points per game over this season, ranking sixth in the league, and shot 43% from three-point range. Following an ankle injury at the end of March, Durant was sidelined for the month of April, and the Suns lost six of their last seven games. Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets hours before game seven of the NBA Finals.
Other Longhorns
P.J. Tucker, the oldest active Longhorn in the league, saw the least amount of action. Since winning a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, Tucker has bounced from team to team. Tucker joined the New York Knicks in March on a 10-day contract before signing a two-year deal. With the Knicks, Tucker made a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Tristan Thompson, the fourth overall pick in 2011, saw career lows in minutes, points and rebounds.
Corey Joseph, another first-round pick from the 2011 NBA Draft, has been a perennial bench player. This continued in his first year with the Orlando Magic, where he posted 3.5 points per game, shooting 40.3% from the field.
