Kevin Durant OUT vs Warriors With Ankle Injury — Are the Suns’ Playoff Hopes Slipping Away Without Him?
With just 4 games left in the regular season, the Suns face a pivotal showdown against the Golden State Warriors. But tonight’s game won’t feature one of its biggest storylines: Kevin Durant is OUT — missing his fourth straight game due to a left ankle sprain suffered on March 30.
This injury couldn’t come at a worse time. Phoenix has lost 6 of its last 10 and now sits 11th in the West, desperately clinging to hopes of a Play-In spot. Without KD, their postseason dream may be fading fast.
To make matters more complicated, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst hints that the Suns could consider trading Durant in the offseason. With his $55M contract and Phoenix’s tight cap situation, a decision may be looming: chase title hopes with KD, or seek long-term flexibility like the Clippers did with Paul George.
So the big question remains — Can the Suns survive without KD, or is it time to prepare for a future without him entirely?
