Is Kevin Durant Playing Tonight vs Timberwolves? Suns Release Injury Update on 13x All-Star Before Possible Return
After playing just 3 games in the new colors, Kevin Durant injured his ankle during a pre-game practice session at the beginning of March. He has missed 10 straight games since then.
The Slim Reaper has yet to make his home debut since the big move that took away Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson from the Phoenix loyalist.
Now as they fight for the fourth seed which will become a home-court advantage come Playoffs, they face a resurgent Minnesota Timberwolves who are on a roll themselves, sitting at 7th, right now and punching up as hard as they can.
Will the 13x All-Star be back to play tonight’s game against Anthony Edwards and Co? Let’s find out.
Is Kevin Durant playing tonight vs Wolves?
As the Suns have started on a 2-0 winning run, they welcome the Wolves to the Footprint Center on Wednesday night. The Minnesota team themselves are on a 4-0 streak, looking to get themselves into the top-6.
However, they might have a Kevin Durant problem ahead of them as the Suns have upgraded the 2x Finals MVP as ‘questionable’ for tonight’s encounter. And according to Shams Charania he will play.

Will he get them their 3rd straight win?
If he does, it will set the Suns up ahead of the Clippers and the Warriors and give them a little breathing space from both of those teams. All three of them have the same number of wins as of now.
What Durant playing tonight will mean for the West?
Destruction? If healthy the Suns are going all the way through the West. There is no stopping the dynamic scoring duo of Devin Booker and KD with Chris Paul behind them.
Durant was averaging a healthy 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in the 3 games he played before his injury. The Suns were 3-0 in those games. Expect nothing less from the Slim Reaper when he comes back.
