Kevin Durant left the defeat of the phoenix of the sun early early in the evening on Sunday evening after he hardly threw an ankle in the second half in the second half.
The injury occurred only a quarter after the SUNS star fell into it for a short while with Rockters with Dillon Brooks – who was then thrown out of the game after a fight.

It is expected that Durant will miss at least a week from the left ankle stretch, SHAMS Charania from ESPN reports.
Durant went to the basket in the third quarter in the center of the trace, when his left leg was completely landed on the leg of Jabari Smith Jr. in the lane. Durant’s left ankle rolled strongly, which awkwardly sent him to the court, obviously from a greater pain.
He was helped and limped from the floor and back to the locker room. He did not return.
Durant was supposed to go to MRI on Monday, said SUNS coach Mike Budenholzer. It was expected that he would remain in Phoenix when the team leaves on Monday for a trip to three games, which begins in Miluoi.

Durant attracted a foul on the play, which he was injured, but he did not stay in the game to remove the penalties. He finished his night with 11 points and selection.
The injury occurred after the incident with Brook in the second quarter, although Durant was far from the aggressor there. Brooks was called to the simple folu, trying to guard the durant at the top of the key at the end of the first half. But after the initial whistle was blown up, Brooks continued to play for the ball, which led to the fact that between Brook, Durant and Nick Richards there was a little pushing.
But when Brooks did not let it go and began to scream at the official, he was quickly hit with a couple of technical technologies and was thrown out of the game. After the official expelled Brooks, he briefly tried to blame the official. The assistant restrained him, and then they left the floor for the locker room.
Brooks finished with eight glasses, one rebound and one help in 11 minutes. Now he has 15 technical fouls this season. This season, he also entered the Sunday game in the League in Folas from 235.

The missiles, despite the emission of Brooks, still took a huge leadership of 29 points during the break. They overtook the sun by 21 points only in the second quarter. In Phoenix, everything was no better for Phoenix in the second half. Houston went to win at 148-109 for a 33rd night from Jenhen Green, pushing the team to 49-26 in the season. The missiles won 12 of their last 13 games and are fighting to hold on to the place in the 2nd place in the standings of the Western Conference.
The sun, on the other hand, fell to 35-40 and sit 11th place in the standings, which completely missed the playoff-ss of the remaining seven games in the regular season. The future of Durant with the Suns is also unclear, after it seemed that they were going to trade at the end of this year. Durant left one year on his four -year transaction with SUNS $ 194 million.

It was expected that Durant would remain when the sun goes on a trip to three games on Monday while it passes further tests on an ankle. The Suns returned on Tuesday evening against Miluoki Bax, and again would not remain at home until April 8th.
If Durant misses the whole trip of the team, this can put him in line to return to the game on April 8 against the soldiers. But if Durant needed more time to restore, the Sunday game was the last time he sees the court this season, and – depending on how the offseason is coming – maybe the last time he will play for the sun.
