Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns will be playing against the San Antonio Spurs tonight. As many NBA fans might be aware, the Suns made quite a few drastic changes to their roster in the NBA offseason. They traded away Chris Paul and acquired Bradley Beal. By doing so, the Suns instantly formed a big 3 in Phoenix.
Although the NBA season has only just begun, injuries have already begun getting to a few players across the league. As a result, we are yet to see all 3 of the Suns’ stars, with the inclusion of Devin Booker, on the court together.
While the Suns have aspirations of going deep into the postseason, they will have to get through the regular season first and the game in front of them is another matchup against Wemabanyama and the Spurs. That said, let us take a closer look at the injury reports, expected roster, and predictions for this game.
Kevin Durant looks healthy for the Phoenix Suns vs San Antonio Spurs game tonight
Thankfully for Suns fans, KD looks healthy and is expected to play tonight for his team against the Spurs. Over the past few games, neither Devin Booker nor Bradley Beal has been on the court. Therefore, it has fallen upon Durant to get the job done in their absence.
Fans might have heard that Booker is dealing with a toe injury. On the other hand, Beal is going through a back injury. Since both of them are not expected to play in this game, Durant and the rest of the Suns will have to step up and win this game. That said, here are the complete injury reports and expected rosters for this game.
Phoenix Suns injury report
- Devin Booker (out)
- Bradley Beal (out)
- Damion Lee (out)
Phoenix Suns expected roster
- Eric Gordon
- Grayson Allen
- Josh Okogie
- Kevin Durant
- Jusuf Nurkic
San Antonio Spurs injury report
(There are no injuries reported for the Spurs tonight)
San Antonio Spurs expected roster
- Devin Vassell
- Jeremey Sochan
- Keldon Johnson
- Victor Wembanyama
- Zach Collins
While KD will be leading the Suns without Booker or Beal tonight, the Spurs roster looks completely healthy and ready to meet this challenge. That said, here are the expert predicitions for this game.
The Suns are slightly favored over the Spurs tonight
Even without Booker and Beal, KD is quite a significant threat on his own. The Suns already played against the Spurs in their last game but ended up narrowly losing.
Considering that Durant will not want to lose to the same team twice in a row, we have to believe that the Phoenix Suns will end up winning this game. However, fans shouldn’t be too surprised if they are unable to do so given the injury status of two of their main stars.
