Kevin Durant shockingly added to Suns’ injury report for NBA In-Season Tournament game vs. Grizzlies
Kevin Durant has been added to the Suns’ injury report ahead of their in-season tournament matchup against the Grizzlies.
The Phoenix Suns have won their last five games to overcome a slow start to the 2023-24 season and bump their record to 9-6 overall. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have been fantastic together and while Bradley Beal is still recovering from some back issues, Phoenix is trending up in the Western
Conference. Looking to keep their hopes alive for the NBA In-Season Tournament, the Suns will need to pick up a victory on Friday over the Memphis Grizzlies to have any chance of earning a wild card. However, they may have to do with without Durant after the superstar forward was added to the Suns’ injury report. This has led many to ask the question of: Is Kevin Durant playing tonight vs. the Grizzlies?
Kevin Durant’s injury status vs. Grizzlies
Believe it or not, Kevin Durant has not missed a single game yet during the 2023-24 season due to injury. Bradley Beal and Devin Booker have both dealt with some injuries early on in the season, but Durant has remained a constant in the Suns’ starting lineup, leading the way for them on the offensive end of the floor. On the road for Friday’s in-season tournament game, the Suns could potentially be without Durant due to what the team is calling right foot soreness.
While this injury designation has come out of the blue, Suns fans don’t really have much to worry about. Durant did not suffer an injury in the team’s previous game against the Golden State Warriors and unlike Booker and Beal, KD has not been dealing with any nagging pain. This could simply be a case of the Suns facing the last-place team in the Western Conference and wanting to get their superstar the day off after Thanksgiving.
