The New York Daily News reported on that as part of this crackdown, Durant’s height was changed from 6'9" to 6'10".
A lot has been made of Kevin Durant’s true height. This year the NBA forced teams to certify the measurements. So how much did Durant grow? Only one inch. The Nets are listing him at 6-10.
