Kevin Durant sprained his left only in the third quarter of the loss of 148-109 of the Phoenix Suns for the Houston Rockets on Sunday evening.
The 36-year-old Superster drove to the basket against Jabari Smith Jr. Then ankle landed on Smith’s foot. His ankle turned around and he immediately fell to the floor. He could not put a weight on his left leg when he got up.
An MRI is planned for Monday and he will not travel with the team to Milwaukee for the next game.
The Suns will start a three-game road trip in the east coast on Tuesday with the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.
Phoenix is 35-40 in the season, 1.5 games behind the Sacramento Kings for the 10th and final play-in Tournament.

Durant’s injury is writing on the wall of Suns?
It seems that a miracle is needed to make the play-in tournament, let alone the play-offs from here.
Yes, they have the most difficult remaining diagram of each team on the surface and the chance is on them.
However, it should not be excluded. The bucks are without Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis and the New York Knicks will be Brunson without Jalen.
When the Suns compete against Oklahoma City on 9 April, it is likely that the Thunder will go to rest mode and their stars do not have before the late season.
In the meantime, Sacramento ends his season with a piece of matches that includes the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers.
This is followed by what could be a profit-in-in-scenario against the Suns on the last day of the season.
In the meantime, the MAVs have two games against the clippers, one blockbuster against the La Lakers where Doncic first returns to Dallas and the Memphis Grizzlies to end. They have to cause things against the Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors.
Recently we saw Durant in a sun fast jersey?
While we are waiting for a formal diagnosis of Durant’s single disguise, it is also possible that we have seen the last of him in Sun’s Jersey.
The Suns tried to shop on the Trade Deadline to get under the second apron with a team that has been taken far from expectations. Durant was not going to have to move halfway through the season, but there seems to be friction between the two parties.
Many expect that Durant will continue in the summer, and if the Suns do not make the late season, it is quite possible that Durant gives his health priority to the play.
