Kevin Durant (left thumb injury) and Ryan Dunn (left ankle sprain) QUESTIONABLE #Suns
In addition to Durant’s situation, the Timberwolves may also be without Rob Dillingham, who is dealing with an illness. Dillingham has been making a significant impact lately, stepping up his game in the absence of Donte DiVincenzo. Over his last six contests, he has averaged 8.5 points. Whether he can play tonight could influence the Wolves’ chances against a Suns team that thrives on its star power.
Adding to the injury concerns, Suns rookie Ryan Dunn is also questionable with a left ankle injury. Dunn has averaged 7.3 points this season and missed the last game against the Clippers. With both teams possibly missing key contributors, tonight’s matchup could hinge on the last-minute decisions regarding the players’ availability. Fans will be eagerly waiting for updates leading up to tip-off to see if their favorite stars will hit the court.
