NBA superstar Kevin Durant admitted he was "nervous" for his highly-anticipated Phoenix Suns debut before he scored 23 points against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
Durant provided the expected explosive offensive element to the Suns in his debut, scoring 23 points while shooting 10-of-15 to lead Phoenix to a 105-91 win over the Hornets. The 13-time All-Star added six rebounds and a pair of blocks on a banner night for the franchise.
The 34-year-old played 27 minutes in the win, which was his first taste of action since he suffered an MCL injury on January 8 that ultimately kept Durant off the court for weeks. Durant has spent the past couple of weeks getting to know his new teammates on a personal level, as well as how they operate on the floor while watching from the sidelines.
