The Rockets have acquired Durant in a trade with the Suns, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After the 2024-25 season came to a close for the Suns, Phoenix and Durant agreed to part ways and work on a trade heading into the offseason. A lot of teams became potential destinations for the superstar forward, but in the end, Houston won the KD sweepstakes by sending Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and six draft picks to Phoenix. The Suns will now have the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft as well as five second-round picks. During the 2024-25 campaign, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 43 percent from beyond the arc.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that Durant, who has already been ruled out against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain, will not play in the Suns' regular-season finale against the Kings on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Durant (ankle) is expected to miss at least one week of action, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough blow for Phoenix, with Charania noting that the team is 1.5 games out of a Play-In spot with the toughest scheduling remaining. Based on this timetable, Durant will miss Phoenix's three-game road trip at a minimum, putting a potential return against Golden State on April 8 on the table. With Durant out, a number of players could be asked to step up including Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and also Bradley Beal (hamstring), if he can get the green light to return.

Durant will not return to Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a left ankle injury, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant appeared to step on Jabari Smith's foot while driving to the rim, causing his ankle to turn. Since Durant was unable to shoot the free throws, he cannot return to Sunday's contest. He concludes the game with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and a block in 22 minutes. Considering the nature of the injury, it wouldn't be surprising for Durant to miss some time, leaving minutes for role players such as Royce O'Neale and Oso Ighodaro.

Durant notched 23 points (7-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The 23 points led the Suns as Durant topped 20 for the fifth straight game and the 12th time in 14 March contests. On the month, the 36-year-old superstar is averaging 27.1 points, 6.3 boards, 4.4 assists, 3.4 threes and 1.1 blocks while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and an impressive 52.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Durant registered 38 points (11-21 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

With 38 points on the night, this was Durant's third-highest scoring total of the campaign. The Suns are sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 35-37 record, but they are still within striking distance of several teams ahead of them. As long as Phoenix is in the playoff hunt, Durant isn't likely to be dialed back.
