Kevin Durant goes down with calf strain as Suns take early-season injury blow
NY Post
Another one of the NBA’s biggest stars has gone down with an injury.
Kevin Durant suffered a left calf strain during the Suns’ win over the Mavericks on Friday night, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.
Charania added that the two-time NBA Finals MVP will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
It’s not clear if the Suns have any timeline for Durant’s return.
Durant played a team-leading 37 minutes — scoring 26 points with five rebounds and four assists — in the 114-113 win on Friday, and it is unclear when he would have suffered the calf issue.
It has been a strong start for both Durant, 36, and the Suns, who have started the 2024-25 season at 8-1.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
