May miss rest of regular season The Suns are concerned that Durant may have suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain during pregame warmups prior to Wednesday's win over the Thunder, with the injury potentially keepi...

Impact Phoenix likely won't provide definitive word on Durant's injury until he undergoes an MRI, but if a Grade 2 sprain is confirmed, he could be sidelined through the end of the regular season, which wraps up April 9. For now, managers may be best off standing pat with Durant for a couple more days until a formal diagnosis is provided. Still, he would be tough to justify holding in redraft formats during the fantasy playoffs if his injury is more than a day-to-day concern. After returning from a seven-week absence due to a sprained knee earlier this month, Durant averaged 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game over his first three outings with the Suns before he slipped awkwardly on the court and sprained his ankle while warming up for what would have been his home debut for Phoenix. Durant was seen sporting a large walking boot on his left foot following warmups, so he looks fairly safe to rule out for games Saturday versus the Kings and Monday at Golden State until the team provides another update on his injury.

In walking boot Durant was wearing a boot after being scratched from Wednesday's game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Durant sustained the injury during pre-game warmups but managed to finish his routine before being ruled out for the contest. On top of wearing a walking boot post-game, Durant is set to undergo further examination Thursday, which is certainly a discouraging sign. Fantasy managers should check back in for a status update sometime Thursday.
