Is Kevin Durant playing tonight against Sacramento Kings? Latest on 14x NBA All-Star's status (February 13)

Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns will look to get back on track when they welcome a fellow title contender in the Sacramento Kings. These two franchises are separated by just one position and half a game, as the Suns are sixth with a 31-22 record and the Kings are seventh with a 30-22 record, respectively.

The two-time NBA champion and Finals MVP is not part of the Suns' injury report and he will be available to play. The Suns will have their Big Three in full force, as Bradley Beal (nasal fracture) will also be good to go.

Still, they will try to recover from their 112-113 road loss to the Golden State Warriors, which came as a result of a stunning three-pointer at the buzzer by fellow NBA megastar Stephen Curry.

"You give him a look like that for the game, he's licking his chops. I still think we could’ve had that steal. It’s a tough play. Sometimes guys are just that great," Kevin Durant said about Curry's game winner, via NBA.com.

Phoenix missed the chance to extend its winning streak to four games last time out. On the other hand, the Kings have lost three of their last four and have dropped outside the Top-6, which offers direct qualification for the playoffs.

What happened to Kevin Durant?
