Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant strained his left calf in Friday night's 114-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks and will now be sidelined indefinitely. Durant will be re-evaluated in two weeks, but there is no immediate timeline for return, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
The injury news comes at a brutal time for both the Suns, who are off to an 8-1 start, and Durant, who is averaging 27.6 points per game this season on 55.3% shooting from the floor and a 42.9% mark from three. Just as Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal appeared to find the chemistry they were sorely missing last season, Durant now goes to the shelf.
