The Suns announced that Durant will miss the remainder of the game -- which they trail by 40 points in the fourth quarter -- with an ankle injury. "Suns say Kevin Durant (left ankle sprain) will not return," Gerald Bourguet shared on X.

The Phoenix Suns went from bad to worse in Sunday’s 148-109 loss to the Houston Rockets before a sellout crowd of 17,071 at PHX Arena. The Suns not only dropped a third straight game and suffered their worst margin of defeat of the season, they lost Kevin Durant to a left ankle injury with 6:57 left in the third quarter.

Of course, it briefly looked like the Suns had begun to figure things out after their four-game winning streak, but they have since lost three consecutive games and they are coming off a blowout loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.
