Kevin Durant, Suns Could Work Together On A Trade This Offseason
According 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.
Phoenix Suns forward 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.

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.

Durant appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain.

Both O'Neale and Allen are decent streaming choices if Durant or Bradley Beal (toe) are unavailable. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.

The Suns are also reportedly listening to offers for Durant, with teams such as the Warriors inquiring about him.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (thumb) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar forward was uncertain coming into this contest due to a left thumb injury. The team wanted to wait until after warm ups to see how Durant was feeling, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play. The expectation is that Durant is going to have his normal workload during this game. The 36-year-old has been one of the best fantasy options this season and is obviously a must-start in all formats. Fantasy managers can get Durant active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (thumb) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar forward appears to have suffered a left thumb injury during Monday's contest. The Suns are likely going to wait and see how Durant feels closer to tip-off before making a final decision on his status. If he sits, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen would be in line for larger roles. Neither player is a great source of fantasy production right now, but Allen is the better choice between the two due to his scoring ability.
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is probable for the meeting with the Jazz on Friday night. The 36-year-old has been banged up a few times during the 2024-25 campaign, most recently missing the last three games because of a sprained ankle. But outside of that, he continues to play well, averaging 25.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while shooting 44.9% from downtown. With Durant's anticipated return, Royce O'Neale, coming off a 16-point, seven-rebound effort versus Orlando on December 8, likely won't be as productive.
