There are 10 regular season games left for the Phoenix Suns in the 2022-23 NBA campaign and must do one of their best efforts to avoid playing the play-in from western conference.
At the moment, the Suns occupy the fourth position with a mark of 38-34, but the tenth place, which is the Lakers, is 2.5 games behind with a record of 36-37. Therefore, the return of Kevin Durant to the starting five is more than necessary.
According to the report of Shams Charania, of The Athletic, Durant aims to return next Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. The only condition is that there is no setback in his rehabilitation.
The 13-time All-Star forward has missed the last seven Suns games since he sprained his ankle in warmups against the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 8. During that period, those of Devin Booker and Chris Paul have recorded five losses with two wins.
