Durant is averaging 26.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.1% from the three-point range in 61 games.
Via Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee: "The Suns are down by 35 points in the fourth quarter and Kevin Durant left the game with a left ankle sprain. The Suns have the toughest remaining schedule in the NBA. Losing KD for any period of time might take them out of the play-in race."

Kevin Durant came up hobbled after that last play. Couldn't put much weight on his left leg as he limped to the bench. Looked like he rolled that left ankle, and now he went back to the locker room
