Kevin Durant's time with the Phoenix Suns could potentially be coming to a close, as the 14-time All-Star forward has been frequently mentioned in trade rumors ahead of the looming NBA trade deadline.
To add fuel to the fire of those rumors, Durant won't be in the Suns' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder—as he's reportedly dealing with ankle soreness, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. It's a new injury for Durant, who hasn't missed a game since Dec. 8 against Orlando Magic. As such, it's certainly intriguing to see him sidelined one day before Thursday's deadline.
