The Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant will be looking for revenge when the team faces off with the LA Clippers tonight. On Tuesday, the team struggled against the Clippers in their Apr. 9 clash. The team went down 31 in the first quarter, at one point then sitting at a 51-14 deficit in the second quarter. The game saw many of the Suns' players struggle, with Devin Booker going just 1-11 from the floor.
In addition, Grayson Allen shot just 0-8 from three, adding to the team's woes. In the case of Kevin Durant, the former MVP played 40 minutes, shooting 8-22 from the floor and scoring 21 points in the 105-92 loss to LA.
With the postseason in sight, the team has now lost two straight and sits just one game ahead of the eighth-place Sacramento Kings. Given the loss on Tuesday and the fact that the postseason is in sight, many are wondering whether or not the team will rest Kevin Durant and other key starters.
While the Phoenix Suns have yet to submit their injury report for the evening to NBA.com, no injuries have been reported for the former MVP. In addition, with the team continuing to struggle, there seems to be no plans to rest Durant.
