11-time All-NBA forward, will miss the last two games of the season. He hurt his left ankle on March 30, after stepping on an opponent’s foot, in a game against the Houston Rockets. The injury happened in the third quarter when Durant accidentally stepped on the foot of Jabari Smith Jr. Following the incident, he was not able to put weight on his left leg and has missed playing time ever since.
Durant’s absence is a big blow for the Phoenix Suns. The crew fought with pride but received an undeserving end. They were completely out of the postseason race after losing 125-112 on the road to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This loss, which happened Wednesday night, almost certainly crushed their slim dreams of a playoff birth.
Given the timing of your injury, Durant just missed his potential sixth straight game in missing Golden State’s recent tilt with San Antonio. His loss is immensely felt by his teammates and the coaching staff. They believe he is a key cog on the roster.
Looking forward, Durant will almost certainly miss Sunday’s game at Sacramento. The Suns will need to adjust their strategies as they conclude a season that has been marked by challenges and setbacks.
