The issue seems to be in his knee, where he has reportedly suffered an MCL sprain. However, in several cases, these can be far more minor than they sound. And so, fans have been hoping the same is true with Kevin Durant. Especially given the fact that they have lost their last 3 games.

Kevin Durant’s injury status continues to be murky

As per ESPN, Kevin Durant is expected to stay out of action for about a month. Until then, the organization will be hoping that Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons can get some wins.
On the other side of things, both Chris Paul (hip), and Devin Booker are currently sitting out with injuries. So, there is a good chance the franchise can get back to winning ways without Durant playing.
However, it is important that Brooklyn plays at the highest level possible. After all, even without their best players, the Suns aren’t a team that should be taken lightly.
What is Kevin Durant averaging this season?
After 39 games played, Kevin Durant is averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game.
The man is also getting to the free-throw line 7.3 times per game, and sinking 93.4% of his shots there.
