The Phoenix Suns could gain their star forward back this weekend.
Kevin Durant has missed ten of Phoenix's 23 regular season games thus far with a mix of calf and ankle injuries, and the presence of the Slim Reaper couldn't be more night and day in terms of the Suns' overall performance."There is optimism that MVP candidate Kevin Durant could return from an ankle sprain on Friday against the Utah Jazz or Sunday at home versus the Portland Trail Blazers, sources said.
Of course Phoenix misses Durant's offensive prowess, though the numbers on defense are staggering with/without Durant in the lineup, as the Suns are allowing 121.2 points per 100 possessions without Durant on the floor compared to the 109.2 figure with him healthy. "Other people have opportunities to get more minutes. So we'll just see how Kevin is and you just got to keep playing. You got to keep competing, keep getting stops, get out, run, play with each other, try and play the way we want to play."
