The Phoenix Suns will go head-to-head against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight. The NBA World is excited to witness the clash of two super teams, as both teams consist of several future Hall of Famers. However, there have been concerns about Kevin Durant’s availability for tonight’s match-up.

KD missed the last game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to hamstring soreness. Suns head coach Frank Vogel revealed the current status of the 2-time Finals MVP ahead of the highly-anticipated clash against the Clippers.

Will Kevin Durant play against the LA Clippers?

According to an update by Gerald Bourguest, The Suns HC, Frank Vogel, revealed that Kevin Durant will not suit up for the Phoenix Suns tonight. The medical team still had something they were concerned about KD’s hamstring injury. Therefore, he will not play against the Clippers tonight. Vogel further added that the 35-year-old is still considered day-to-day and will be monitored and reassessed in the next 48 hours.

That is a massive blow for the Suns, as Kevin has been their best and most consistent superstar throughout the season. He has been a menace on both ends of the floor. KD is averaging 29.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6 assists.

The Suns needed Kevin in the line-up tonight as they will face the Clippers Big 4. The Clippers have been in great form recently, with James Harden, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and Kawhi Leonard finally figuring things out and playing in elite form. It will be tough for Phoenix to get past the Clippers in KD’s absence.

They will need their two superstars, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, to step up their game and get a much-needed win tonight.

The Phoenix Suns cannot catch a break

Kevin Durant and Co. have been dealing with injuries throughout the season. First, their two superstars, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, missed several games due to multiple injuries. Booker finally returned to the line-up and started to find his rhythm. Beal tried to do the same but got injured again a few games after his return. Beal made his second return on December 29 against the Charlotte Hornets.

But just two games after Beal’s return, Durant was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The Suns cannot seem to catch a break. They formed the Big 3 of KD, Booker, and Beal in hopes of winning a title this season. But the three superstars have hardly played together on the court.

Hopefully, Durant will make a full recovery in the coming days and join his co-stars soon. Meanwhile, Frank Vogel will have to find a way to beat the Clippers without Kevin Durant in the line-up.

Do you think the Suns can beat the Clippers without KD?
