The Phoenix Suns are finally starting to find their groove, even without Bradley Beal.
A lot of that has had to do with Kevin Durant’s stellar play this season.
Durant held down the fort in Beal’s and Devin Booker’s absence, and he has yet to miss a single game this season.
Unfortunately, that streak could come to an end tonight, as Suns insider Duane Rankin just revealed that he’s questionable to face the Memphis Grizzlies with right foot soreness.

Chances are that this would be just a minor injury, and the Suns would be wise to play things safely with their talented veteran.
Durant has missed plenty of time since he suffered that major injury when he was still with the Golden State Warriors, and he’s not getting any younger.
Also, with Ja Morant’s suspension and the Grizzlies’ plethora of injuries, the Suns might not even need him on the court to get the job done in tonight’s matchup.
Tonight’s game will be a part of the league’s in-season tournament, and the Suns have already clinched a spot in the next round, as all other teams in their group have already been eliminated.
Of course, the game still counts for their regular-season record and seeding purposes, so it’s not like they should take it lightly and just go through the motions.
But if they can afford to have Durant sitting out a game or two, it’s better for it to happen in the third week of November and not when the playoffs are right around the corner.
