Kevin Durant News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Out for remainder of game Durant (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He'll finish the game with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 F...

Impact Durant sustained an apparent right knee injury late in the third quarter, when the Heat's Jimmy Butler collided with him. The 34-year-old stayed on the court for two more possessions before exiting the contest. While he will have extra time to recover for Thursday's matchup with Boston, testing in the upcoming days on his right knee will determine his status. T.J. Warren, Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris will likely see expanded roles if Durant misses time.

Heads to locker room Sunday Durant suffered an apparent knee injury and went straight into the locker room after exiting Sunday's game against the Heat, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Durant appeared to be in considerable pain as his leg bent awkwardly following a Jimmy Butler fall. He went straight to the locker room after two plays and didn't return to the bench after the timeout, so there's a chance this might be a severe injury. That would be a massive blow for Brooklyn, and with Durant out, T.J. Warren, Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris would be in line to see more minutes.

Rough shooting night in win Durant closed with 33 points (9-26 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Friday's 108-102 win over New Orleans.

Impact Durant struggled with efficiency and needed 26 shots to score 33 points, but that's what happens with players like Durant -- even on off nights, he can get enough volume to shine offensively and carry his team to victory. Durant has now scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games, and his impressive offensive showings have become an expectation. Durant has scored at least 25 points on 12 occasions and is averaging 29.5 points while shooting 57.2 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from deep over Brooklyn's last 15 games.
