Durant was born in Washington, D.C. on September 29th, 1988. Like many African-American mothers, his mother Wanda Durant was not married at that time, so his son took her surname Durant, but Wayne (full name is kevin wayne durant kevin durant) was added to the middle name. Wanda's boyfriend at that time was Wayne Pratt now. Although Wanda Durant changed her name to Wanda Pratt after marriage, her son kevin durant's name never changed. Wayne Pratt left home when Durant was eight months old. Durant was raised by his mother Wanda Pratt and his grandmother Barbara Davis, who lived in Maryland, not far from Washington.
