Durant has missed the last 10 games of the season with a left ankle sprain injury after tweaking it in warm-ups a few weeks ago in what was supposed to be his original home debut with the Suns against the Thunder.
Kevin Durant slipped on the court during pregame warmups and will miss tonight’s game vs OKC with an ankle injury.

Now he’s back and this is the healthiest the Suns have been all season ever since November. Durant is 3-0 with the Suns and has been averaging 26.7 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 3.7 APG on 69% shooting and 54% from three.
Devin Booker has been an MVP-caliber player in the month of March. But with Durant specifically on the floor, he’s been averaging 36 PPG, 7.7 APG, and 5.3 RPG on 56% shooting and 50% from three. Even though it’s a small sample size, those two looked like the best duo in the league by far.
With 7 games remaining the Suns are looking to get rolling before playoffs and it should bode well for their title hopes as now the games are set to begin.
