  • Star forward Kevin Durant exited action with under five minutes left in the second with what was later ruled to be a sprained ankle and did not return. He finished with 13 points and four rebounds. To no surprise, the Suns were propelled by Devin Booker's 29 points, nine rebounds and five assists.

Kevin Durant sprained his left ankle during the Phoenix Suns' game against the San Antonio Spurs, which the Suns won 131-106. The injury occurred in the third quarter when Durant was driving to the basket and awkwardly rolled his ankle after stepping on Jakob Poeltl's foot. Despite the injury, Durant managed to stay in the game briefly before being taken out. He finished with 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 30 minutes. Post-game, Durant was seen in a walking boot, and although X-rays were negative, he is expected to miss some time, with the team set to re-evaluate him in two weeks. This injury adds to the Suns' challenges as they aim to secure a favorable playoff position.
