In the meantime, Devin Booker will need to continueto pick up some of the slack on the scoring end, while Tyus Jones,Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Nealecould also surpass fantasy expectations at times until Durant is back.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (calf) suffered a left calf strain in Friday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, he will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. The 36-year-old continues to play well despite being in the league since 2007, averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 42.9% from behind the arc. The Suns are thin as it is, so losing a player of Durant's caliber is not good news for a team aspiring for a championship. While he is sidelined, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal should pick up some of the slack on the scoring end. Tyus Jones, Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Neale could also surpass fantasy expectations at times until Durant returns.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant has drawn heavy links with the Houston Rockets this week, but he isn't expected to leave the team after his first full season in Arizona. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, there is a "zero percent" chance Phoenix will move Durant this offseason. The Suns reportedly still have a big belief in the current roster's ability to compete for a championship, and the Big Three of Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal will remain intact under new head coach Mike Budenholzer. Durant will turn 36 in September, but he continues to perform at a very high level and should be expected to do so again in 2024-25.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is drawing interest from the Houston Rockets. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets want to trade for Durant after acquiring the rights of the Suns' couple of draft picks from Brooklyn. Wojnarowski added that the Rockets might even be looking at adding Phoenix's younger superstar, Devin Booker. However, the Suns have no plans for a big trade at present, as the franchise remains in win-now mode. Durant's move to H-Town would be fascinating, to say the least, in real life and from a fantasy perspective. But it looks like it currently remains only a dream for the Rockets fans.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant scored a very efficient 33 points in Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with 12-for-17 shooting from the field. Durant averages the third-most points among active players in elimination games, and he produced another high-level performance, but Phoenix needed even more from him as Minnesota completed the first-round sweep on Sunday. Across 46 minutes of action, Durant also came up big defensively by swatting away four shots, and his tally included nine rebounds and five assists. This is the second sweep in four years Durant has suffered since leaving Golden State, and he can't be happy about how things have worked out in Phoenix with the team's Big Three.
