Congratulations: Kevin Durant Agree New Contract With Suns Through 2025 Season.
The drumbeat starts, steady and hypnotic, like a heartbeat setting the tone.
A deep, resonant bassline follows, rippling through the air with a magnetic pull.
Then, the delicate plucking of guitar strings joins the mix, weaving a melody that feels like a whispered invitation to a secret gathering.
The music swells, and finally, the vocals slip in, soft and smooth, like a breeze carrying a story only it knows.
The message that Mark Hoppus of blink-182 sang back in 2003 hit home for the 2024 Phoenix Suns and their longing for Kevin Durant. We miss him. We need him.
There is a darkness in the Valley right now as the team looks utterly lost in his absence.
Sidelined with a calf strain, Durant has already missed seven games this season—equaling the total games he missed all of last year.
Without him, the Suns feel rudderless, adrift on an open sea with no clear path forward.
That sense of purpose won’t return until he does.
That haunting specter is the thought of what this team becomes without Kevin Durant.
It lies in our subconscious every time Phoenix takes the court without him.
And that darkness? It’s the creeping fear that, without KD, this season could spiral into yet another chapter of Suns history defined by pain, frustration, and unfulfilled dreams.
We’ve had 7 games without Durant. And here are 7 things I miss about seeing him out there on the court.
