1 month agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Suns and forward
Kevin Durant could work together on a trade during the offseason. Charania added that this may not happen if the Suns make a "significant run" this postseason, assuming Phoenix makes it that far. If not, league sources believe both sides may work collectively to make a deal happen. The 36-year-old has played well this season, averaging 26.7 points, 5.9 boards, 1.3 blocks, and 40.1% shooting from behind the arc. But Phoenix has struggled over the last few seasons, so the team may look to rebuild around
Devin Booker. There are teams that will have the cap space available to acquire the multi-time All-Star. But other clubs may not be interested for reasons outside of his abilities on the court.

Kevin Durant (ankle) is set to return to action in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is not listed on the injury report after missing three games with a left ankle sprain.
Ryan Dunn or Royce O'Neale will have to give up a starting spot for Durant, who produced a full line in his first meeting with the Grizzlies this season. The veteran star tallied a team-high 29 points with 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two blocks in a 117-112 loss on New Year's Eve.

Kevin Durant (ankle) will remain out for a third consecutive game on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran star is struggling to shake off a left ankle injury. His next chance to return will be on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Royce O'Neale and
Grayson Allen (knee) have taken on bigger workloads with Durant on the shelf. Allen is considered a game-time call on Saturday, meaning the Suns' bench may need to play an even larger role in Saturday's contest.

Kevin Durant (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. It remains to be seen if Durant will be active for the second leg of the back-to-back set on Saturday. In the meantime,
Royce O'Neale,
Grayson Allen, and
Ryan Dunn (ankle) will all be asked to pick up the slack with Durant sidelined. Both O'Neale and Allen are worth a look as streaming options with Durant and
Bradley Beal (toe) headed to the sideline on Friday.
