Suns Star Kevin Durant Makes His Home Debut With 16 Points

Posted : 12 April 2023
Long before Wednesday night's 107-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves ever got underway, the tone of Kevin Durant's much anticipated Phoenix Suns home debut had already been decided.

Durant was just thrilled to have passed the first test of making it through pregame warmups on Wednesday night after suffering a hard-to-believe left ankle injury when he tumbled during warmups before a meeting against the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 8.

"It was hard for me to get sleep today," Durant said. "It was hard for me to stop thinking about the game. Sometimes you can want it too bad. And you come out there and play like you start rushing and start being uncharacteristic. I'm glad I'm back. I'm glad I'm into the zone of playing again and being around the guys and being one of the guys again, just keep building from here."

The rust didn't seem to bother Durant's coach or teammates as he struggled to make any of his first six field goal attempts and didn't make his first field goal until 5:23 remained in the second quarter. Simply said, they were relieved to see him back on the ground.

The Suns are adamant that their finest days are still ahead of them now that Durant is back in the fold. The team is aware that Durant has the potential to elevate them this season, and Wednesday's game served as yet another example of how much more impressive they can be without the future Hall of Famer.
