Kevin Durant may have inadvertently started a new trend for any basketball player out there that follows the NBA.

During the Golden State Warriors' contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, Durant re-hydrated while drying up the sweat on his face, before returning back into the game.

When you play 35.5 minutes per game for the reigning NBA Champions, multitasking apparently becomes a must — no matter how odd it makes you look.

“I’ve been having the towel over my face to kind of absorb the sweat for a while,” Durant explained about his hilarious mistake.

“But I kind of forgot at that moment that I had it on, and I was thirsty. So, hey, it worked, though. I had a nice swig on that one.”

The Warriors defeated the Sixers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly 120-117, with Kevin Durant lighting it up for the entire night. The former MVP finished with a game-high 34 points, five assists, and five rebounds – hitting 10-of-14 free throws.

Golden State is still just too much to handle against opposing teams, even against a lineup as good as the Sixers. It appears that whenever they have every member of their star-studded lineup healthy, it just isn't fair.

With Saturday's win, the Dubs improved to 44-19 and currently sit comfortably as the No.1 team in the Western Conference standings.

Durant is averaging 27.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 51.3 percent from the field in his third season with the Warriors.
