NBA Fans React to Kevin Durant Injury News Before Suns-Pelicans

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant will miss Thursday night's game against the Pelicans with an ankle sprain.

The New Orleans Pelicans host the Phoenix Suns on Thursday evening at the Smoothie King Center. The matchup features two teams going in completely opposite directions. Phoenix has won their last two games and is 12-8 on the year, while the Pelicans are 4-18 after losing nine straight games.

Via Shams Charania of ESPN: "Phoenix Suns All-NBA forward Kevin Durant will be re-evaluated in one week due to a left ankle sprain, sources tell ESPN. Durant suffered the injury while landing on a Spurs player’s foot during Phoenix’s win on Tuesday night." The two-time champion is averaging 25.8 points on 53.6% shooting from the field this season. Durant missed time earlier this year with a strained calf and now appears to be out to deal with the ankle sprain for the foreseeable future. New Orleans is no stranger to the injury bug themselves.
