Durant has been out since January 8 with an MCL sprain, and the Suns will be extra cautious with their prized Trade Deadline acquisition when easing him back into game action. Suns head coach Monty Williams indicated recently that he would still be trying to use all of his depth even when Durant enters the fold.
“Just a lot of guys to play,” Williams said after Sunday’s 104-101 loss to the Bucks, per AZ Central. “We’re already playing 10. To play him, you’ve got to bump somebody out and we feel like we have a decent rhythm with [Damion Lee] and for the most part, [Josh Okogie] and [Torrey Craig] have been manning that starting spot. Pretty soon we’re going to get Kevin and that’s going to knock somebody else out.”
Durant is averaging 29.7 points per game with 1.8 3-pointers made this season, but had failed to get to two 3’s made in four of his last six games played with the Brooklyn Nets before going down with the injury. Look for this trend to continue while playing fewer minutes in his Suns’ debut on Wednesday night.
