Kevin Durant Out for At Least One Week With Ankle Injury

The Phoenix Suns star forward sprained his left ankle in a game against the Spurs and will be re-evaluated next week.

  • Kevin Durant suffered a left ankle sprain during the second quarter of the Suns' 104-93 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.
  • The injury occurred when Durant stepped on Spurs forward Julian Champagnie's foot while driving to the basket in transition.
  • Durant, who has already missed seven games this season due to a calf strain, will be re-evaluated in one week and is expected to miss at least three upcoming games.
  • The Suns have struggled without Durant this season, going 1-6 in his absence compared to an 11-2 record when he plays.
  • Phoenix will rely on Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and role players like Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to fill the void during Durant's absence.
