Durant (ankle) had 16 points (5-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 107-100 victory over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Durant missed his first six shots during his return to action following a 10-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He was able to steady the ship in the second half but was limited down the stretch due to a minutes restriction. Despite the poor shooting, it was still encouraging to see the superstar forward back in action before the playoffs.

Durant (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant will play for the first time since March 5 after suffering a sprained left ankle but will be under a minutes restriction. However, given his strong fantasy ability, he can still provide value for fantasy managers even if he doesn't cross the 30-minute threshold.

Durant (ankle) is expected to play Wednesday against the Timberwolves, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Phoenix reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Durant is being listed as questionable on the injury report, he's fully expected to play, so managers in season-long settings should plan on having him active Wednesday. He'll likely have his minutes monitored in his first game back from a 10-game absence, but even with minutes in the 20s, KD is capable of offering up a useful stat line. His return will likely result in Torrey Craig returning to the second unit, and Deandre Ayton's usage will dip.

Durant (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant is reportedly on track to play Wednesday after missing the previous 10 games with a left ankle sprain. Torrey Craig and Josh Okogie are candidates to see reduced minutes once the superstar forward returns. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Durant is on a minutes restriction once he's cleared to play.

Durant (ankle) remains "on course" to return to the Suns lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported last Friday that Durant was tracking toward a return during the middle of this week, and though head coach Monty Williams played coy about the matter when speaking to the media Monday, all signs point to the 13-time All-Star suiting up versus Minnesota. After making his Phoenix debut March 1, Durant played just three games before suffering a left ankle sprain while warming up ahead of a March 8 win over the Thunder. He's proceeded to miss the last 10 games, but assuming he checks out fine during practice Tuesday and Wednesday's morning shootaround, Durant should be back in action against Minnesota, though perhaps with a light minute restriction in place. Torrey Craig is likely to move to the bench to clear a spot in the starting five for Durant.

Durant (ankle) will potentially return Wednesday versus Minnesota, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant has missed seven straight games after twisting his left ankle during warmups ahead of a March 8 matchup against Oklahoma City. Given Charania's report, the superstar forward will miss at least three more before potentially returning. Wednesday's matchup marks three weeks since Durant suffered the injury and 20 days since he was given a three-week timetable. Durant has played in only three games with Phoenix, but he looked like himself during those contests, posting 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes.

Durant (ankle) will be re-evaluated in three weeks, per the team.

EDGE Analysis

An earlier report from Shams Charania of The Athletic indicated that Durant would be re-evaluated after two weeks. However, an official update by the Suns revealed that the superstar forward will in fact be sidelined for at least three weeks. Given that timeline, Durant could be available for the Suns' final six games assuming he is cleared immediately following his re-evaluation March 30. Fantasy managers will have to heavily consider dropping Durant in most formats. In his stead, Terrence Ross, Torrey Craig and T.J. Warren figure to see expanded roles.

Durant (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant suffered a significant ankle sprain while slipping in pregame warmups Wednesday. Charania notes swelling has reduced in the ankle, which is a good sign for the superstar potentially returning before the end of the regular season. Still, many fantasy managers may not be able to wait two or more weeks for Durant to get back on the court, so he's a drop in certain league formats. During his absence, Terrence Ross, Torrey Craig, T.J. Warren and other wings are candidates to see more run.

The Suns are concerned that Durant may have suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain during pregame warmups prior to Wednesday's win over the Thunder, with the injury potentially keeping him out for 4-to-6 weeks, Greg Moore of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phoenix likely won't provide definitive word on Durant's injury until he undergoes an MRI, but if a Grade 2 sprain is confirmed, he could be sidelined through the end of the regular season, which wraps up April 9. For now, managers may be best off standing pat with Durant for a couple more days until a formal diagnosis is provided. Still, he would be tough to justify holding in redraft formats during the fantasy playoffs if his injury is more than a day-to-day concern. After returning from a seven-week absence due to a sprained knee earlier this month, Durant averaged 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game over his first three outings with the Suns before he slipped awkwardly on the court and sprained his ankle while warming up for what would have been his home debut for Phoenix. Durant was seen sporting a large walking boot on his left foot following warmups, so he looks fairly safe to rule out for games Saturday versus the Kings and Monday at Golden State until the team provides another update on his injury.

Durant was wearing a boot after being scratched from Wednesday's game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Durant sustained the injury during pre-game warmups but managed to finish his routine before being ruled out for the contest. On top of wearing a walking boot post-game, Durant is set to undergo further examination Thursday, which is certainly a discouraging sign. Fantasy managers should check back in for a status update sometime Thursday.
