Kevin Durant’s availability for the Phoenix Suns' crucial game against the Denver Nuggets on February 8 remains uncertain due to an ankle injury. With Bradley Beal also uncertain, the team may rely more on Devin Booker.

Phoenix acquired Durant at the 2023 trade deadline along with T.J. Warren by sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks and a 2028 first-round pick swap to the Brooklyn Nets. It was the kind of move a team only makes if it expects to win a championship. That hasn't happened.
