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.
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant scored a very efficient 18 points in Sunday's All-Star game in Indianapolis. The former All-Star Game MVP shot 7-for-12 from the field and 4-for-8 from downtown en route to 18 points. Durant also had five rebounds and five assists with two steals in 25 minutes. The veteran star has been extremely efficient with his work lately, shooting at least 60 percent in three of his last four appearances with the Suns, and the team will need more of the same for the rest of the way, with Phoenix playing catch-up in a battle for a top-four seed in the Western Conference. Durant is currently on track to record his fifth season with at least 28.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar forward was considered questionable coming into this game due to a right hamstring strain. The expectation is that Durant will resume his normal role in the rotation. That means, Durant should play minutes in the mid-30s, so fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting him back in their lineups.
