ANKARA (AA) - The Golden State Warriors will retire No. 35 in honor of Kevin Durant, a statement by the franchise's Co-Chairman Joe Lacob said on Monday.

"Three years ago, we were thrilled with the arrival of Kevin Durant, a transformative NBA player and one of the best to ever play the game," said Lacob in the statement.

"As long as I am Co-Chairman of this team, no player will ever wear #35 for the Warriors again," he finished his statement, acknowledging the superstar player's contribution to the franchise's last two titles (2017, 2018), when he was awarded with NBA Finals MVP honors during the team's three trips to the finals.

"Today, as he starts a new chapter in his incredible career, we thank KD for all of his contributions, for being an integral part to one of the most prolific runs in NBA history and wish him well in his Hall of Fame journey," he said.

Durant will sign with the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference, for a projected salary of $164 million for 4 years.
