Even without Bradley Beal, the Phoenix Suns are beginning to click.
Much of that can be attributed to Kevin Durant’s outstanding play this year.
Durant held down the fort in Beal’s and Devin Booker’s absence, and he has yet to miss a single game this season.
Unfortunately, that streak could come to an end tonight, as Suns insider Duane Rankin just revealed that he’s questionable to face the Memphis Grizzlies with right foot soreness.
Chances are that this would be just a minor injury, and the Suns would be wise to play things safely with their talented veteran
Durant has missed plenty of time since he suffered that major injury when he was still with the Golden State Warriors, and he’s not getting any younger.
Also, with Ja Morant’s suspension and the Grizzlies’ plethora of injuries, the Suns might not even need him on the court to get the job done in tonight’s matchup.
Tonight’s game will be a part of the league’s in-season tournament, and the Suns have already clinched a spot in the next round, as all other teams in their group have already been eliminated.
They shouldn’t just take it lightly and play the game to pass the time, though, as it still affects their regular-season record and seeding.
However, it would be preferable if they could afford to have Durant miss a couple of games, to do so in the third week of November rather than just before the postseason.
