Durant Leads Suns with 35 Points in Loss to Hawks
Kevin Durant led the Suns with 35 points (14-of-24 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and five 3-pointers in a 129-120 loss to the Hawks on Friday. Durant was able to provide excellent value across the board in this game and came close to recording his second triple-double of the season. His five 3-pointers were his second most this season, as he has hit six on two separate occasions.
This was also his second straight 30-point game after not doing much scoring over his previous four games. Durant has once again provided first round value this season, and he has been able to stay healthy for most of the year. He’ll look to keep this going in Washington on Sunday as they wrap up a seven-game roadtrip.
Kuzma Downgraded to Out Today
Kyle Kuzma (left shoulder soreness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Suns. Kuz was initially listed as questionable, but he was quickly downgraded to out. Corey Kispert is coming off a 26-point game on Friday and should be the forward starting opposite Deni Avdija in this game. Tyus Jones and Bilal Coulibaly are still questionable, and their status for this game will impact the rest of the rotation.
