Kevin Durant injury: two weeks out

The Phoenix Suns star, Kevin Durantprotagonist of an MVP start to the season, conceded one left calf strain Friday evening and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The injury, the precise moment of which was not identified, immediately made cautious management necessary, especially in light of the troubled career Durant’s injuries. The decision to give him time to recover was therefore inevitable, but the timing is particularly unfortunate for the Phoenix Suns, who are enjoying an extraordinary start to the season, with 8 wins in 9 games, and currently lead the Western Conference.

In this first part of the season, Durant has stood out not only for his offensive efficiency, but also for his ability to be decisive in key moments: Leads the league with 35 points scored in “clutch time”helping lead the Suns to a stunning 7-0 record in games resolved in the final five minutes within five points.

Il KD workload so far he has been particularly intense, averaging 38.8 minutes per game – the highest figure since 2010-11. This injury therefore marks a forced break, but the hope is that he can return soon and continue to lead the Suns in what promises to be an ambitious year.
