Texas freshman Kevin Durant will declare for the NBA draft, the Dallas Morning News reported, citing two unnamed sources close to the Longhorns basketball program.

Durant could declare his intentions as soon as Tuesday, according to the report. However, a Texas spokesman told the Dallas Morning News that neither he nor coach Rick Barnes were aware that a news conference announcing Durant's intentions was imminent.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Durant is expected to make a decision by the middle of this week.

Durant and his family did not talk to reporters after the banquet, Barnes said he expects Durant will make an announcement soon.

"I think he'll make a quick decision," Barnes said, noting that Durant's family would remain in town with him for another day or so. "Now it's a matter of [Durant and his family] deciding and putting it together."
