Suns PF Kevin Durant Returning Soon From Ankle Injury.

Durant was acquired by the Suns from the Brooklyn Nets less than 24 hours before this year’s trade deadline along with T.J. Warren in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four future first-round picks.

However, Durant’s injuries have limited him to just three games with the Suns so far.

Earlier this month, Durant sprained his ankle during pregame warm-ups in what would have been his home debut with his new team.

The Portland Trail Blazers will luckily dodge any games against Durant for the rest of the season, but other play-in teams like the Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder may have to face KD before the season wraps up.

That wasn’t the case in the 2023-24 season, when he played 75 games, though it was the first time since the 2018-19 campaign that he exceeded 55 games played.

There’s no doubt that Durant is a huge factor on the offensive side of the ball.

When healthy this season he’s averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from three, and the four-time scoring champion remains one of the most effective bucket-getters in the NBA.

Few players in NBA history have been more potent isolation scorers than Durant.
