GOOD NEWS: Suns Star Kevin Durant Given Injury Comeback Date

Phoenix superstar Kevin Durant will miss at least one week after suffering a left ankle sprain in Sunday’s 148-109 loss to the visiting Houston Rockets, ESPN reported on Monday.

Durant scored 11 points before his night ended when he rolled his ankle on Jabari Smith Jr.’s foot while driving to the basket with 6:57 remaining in the third quarter.

It is the third time Durant, 36, has sprained an ankle in his two seasons in Phoenix.

Suns coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters after the game that Durant would have an MRI on Monday and will not travel with the team on its three-game road trip, which starts Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In February, Durant became the eighth player in NBA history to reach 30,000 career points. He got to the milestone in 1,101 games, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for third-fastest. Wilt Chamberlain (941) and Michael Jordan (960) got there in fewer games.

A 15-time All-Star, Durant has averaged 26.6 points with 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 62 games this season. In 17 seasons with the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder (2007-16), Warriors (2016-19), Brooklyn Nets (2020-23) and Suns, Durant has averaged 27.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.

The Suns (35-40) lost their third straight game Sunday to remain in the 11th spot in the West. With seven games left, Phoenix is 1.5 games out of a play-in tournament spot.
