Sad News: About a minute ago Kevin Durant die in a Car Crash…….
Therefore, the presence of the duo would be more than required during the upcoming back-to-back matchups against their Eastern Conference rivals.
After all, two additional consecutive wins could go a long way in improving the Suns’ 16-18 record. Fortunately, there is good news for Suns fans in that regard.
According to the Phoenix Suns Injury Report, Royce O’Neale is the only player who is listed.
This means that Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are free from any injury ailments that would prevent them from taking on LaMelo Ball and Co. O’Neale had sustained a left ankle sprain during the Suns’ loss to the Golden State Warriors in late December 2024.
The injury occurred as O’Neale attempted to block a layup by Dennis Schroder during the first half.
He left the arena wearing a walking boot.
Since it was announced last Tuesday that O’Neale would be re-evaluated in 10 days, an update on the player’s condition may be revealed in the coming days.
Kevin Durant had initially sustained an ankle sprain during the matchup against the San Antonio Spurs back in early December.
He developed the injury after stepping (probably unintentionally) on Julian Champagnie’s foot. When asked about his condition in the game’s aftermath, Durant replied, “I’m feeling good”.
However, he also wasn’t sure about his availability status. The 2x Champion ended up missing 3 consecutive games due to the ankle sprain. Fortunately, he hasn’t developed any other ailment since then.
