The Phoenix Suns continue to face ups and downs this season, with their latest setback coming on Thursday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite securing a win over the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the week, the Suns stumbled against the Nets, leaving Kevin Durant and his team with a 10-8 record.
The loss also caused the Suns to slip in the Eastern Conference standings, adding more pressure as they prepare for their next challenge against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The Suns’ injury report has garnered significant attention ahead of the game.
Kevin Durant provided a scare for fans after tweaking his lower body late in the game against Brooklyn. However, the latest updates bring a sigh of relief as Durant’s name does not appear on the injury report, signaling his availability for Saturday’s game.
Unfortunately, not all injury news has been positive for Phoenix. Bradley Beal, who has already missed five games this season due to a left calf strain, experienced discomfort in both his ankle and calf during the Brooklyn game. Beal’s status is currently listed as questionable, leaving uncertainty about whether he will suit up against the Warriors.
Moreover, Jusuf Nurkic is also dealing with an injury. The Suns center sustained a right quad contusion, which was included in the injury report. His availability for Saturday remains unclear.

“Our team was on a road trip, so I would come here every day by myself, just lifting, working out, rehabbing, then go home and watch the games. I’d just dread every second of watching the game; I wanna be out there helping the guys,” Durant said.
Durant, who recently clapped back at a fan, has entered his third season with the Suns. This season, he averages 27.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
