That is why at the trade deadline the Suns held talks with a handful of teams about Durant trades, conversations that are likely to lead to action this summer. One of the reasons there wasn’t a Durant trade in February — other than Durant himself making it clear he didn’t want one — is the Suns were looking for a massive haul in return, per sources.

Margin for error with Kevin Durant out is already slim enough on offense WITH Devin Booker on the court, but it’s virtually non-existent when he rests. One of Bradley Beal (0-4 FG) or Grayson Allen (0-5 FG, 0-4 3P) has to get going. Suns are 2-for-11 from 3 as well – 7:47 PM

Maybe the roughest part of watching this Kevin Durant-less team play right now is they’re not even having some disaster performance; they’re just nowhere near as good as the Celtics, and the gap between them and the Suns is stark – 8:11 PM

Duane Rankin: Mike Budenholzer said “we’ll be smart” with Bradley Beal when asked if he’ll be on a minute restriction as he returns after missing 8 games with a left hamstring strain. Said Kevin Durant (ankle) is making “good progress,” but hasn’t done any on-court work in Phoenix. #Suns pic.x.com/LN0R1yDuqY -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / April 4, 2025
Gerald Bourguet: Kevin Durant (left ankle sprain), Jalen Bridges (two-way) and TyTy Washington (two-way) remain out for tomorrow’s game against the Celtics. Bradley Beal is no longer listed on the report, which means he’s set to make his return in his first game since March 16 -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / April 3, 2025
