This means that Durant will not play in any of the Suns games on their three-game road trip, but head coach Mike Budenholzer did provide an encouraging update ahead of Tuesday’s game. Budenholzer said that Durant is not expected to join the Suns on their road trip but he is hopeful to have him back before the end of the regular season.

It's been reported that the Phoenix Suns are likely to trade Kevin Durant this summer given their ongoing struggles and his reported unhappiness that they tried to move him before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. However, the door isn't fully closed on him staying in Phoenix next season.
