Phoenix Suns star forward Kevin Durant could miss the remainder of the regular season after suffering an ankle injury during pre-game warmups ahead of the home clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Durant was gearing up to make his home debut after sealing a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, but the 13-time All-Star slipped on the floor during pre-game warmups and was ultimately ruled out against the Thunder due to left ankle soreness. According to Arizona Republic, Durant was in a walking boot as he left the Footprint Center after the Suns’ 132-101 win on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old will reportedly have an MRI on Thursday to determine the extent of his injury, although it is believed he will miss multiple weeks. The contest against OKC - the team that drafted Durant second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft - was meant to be his home debut after playing in three road games following his trade to Phoenix, with each resulting in a win.
