Kevin Durant Available Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is listed as available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix.

Durant has missed the previous three contests while dealing with a bruise on his left thigh, and even though a […]

James Harden Out Against The Suns

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is out on Sunday against Phoenix, as expected. Although the former MVP was close to nearing a return from a right hamstring strain, he suffered a setback that will keep him out of the lineup longer.

Kevin Durant Likely To Return Against Phoenix

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He remains out while he follows the league's health and safety guidelines.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) has been ruled out Friday against the Boston Celtics.
