Kevin Durant made his debut with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night after recovering from a sprained right knee that kept him out since early January. Despite being on a minute’s restriction, Durant managed to score 23 points, shooting 10-15 from the field, 2-4 from beyond the arc, and 1-1 from the free-throw line. He also contributed with six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 27 minutes of play. Durant showcased his scoring ability by hitting a flurry of mid-range shots and adding a couple of three-pointers to his tally.

 

Although Durant's minutes will continue to be limited for at least another week, fantasy managers should not hesitate to activate him if they haven't already. Suns head coach Monty Williams confirmed that Durant will remain on an unspecified minute’s restriction, but with his talent and ability to produce efficiently on the court, Durant remains a valuable asset to any fantasy basketball team. With Durant's arrival, the Suns look to strengthen their already impressive roster as they aim to make a deep playoff run this season.
