Kevin Durant will miss the Phoenix Suns' three-game road trip following a left ankle sprain sustained during a loss to Houston. Suns Coach Mike Budenholzer remains optimistic about Durant's return before the regular season ends, as the Suns aim for a play-in tournament spot. Currently positioned 11th in the Western Conference, the Suns' playoff chances are tight with just four games left after their trip. Durant's loss is significant, as he averages 26.6 points per game, ranking him among the top players in the league.
"As of now, we don't expect him to join us on the trip," Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said before Tuesday's game.
"We're certainly hopeful," Budenholzer said. "I think these first few days will be important, but we're hopeful he'll be back before end of the season."
