The cover of EA Sports' new NBA video game features Kevin Durant in a white Oklahoma City Thunder jersey.

Durant hopes he'll be signed up to wear that jersey for a long time.

The NBA's scoring champion from last season will get the opportunity to negotiate an extension with the Thunder on July 1 and he said Tuesday that "hopefully something gets done.''

Durant was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 draft and won the Rookie of the Year award. Last season, he was selected as an All-Star for the first time and averaged 30.1 points to become the youngest player to lead the league in scoring.

Durant is signed with the Thunder through next season under his original rookie contract.
