One of the teams that has started the 2024/25 NBA season the best is the Phoenix Suns. The Arizona franchise is leading the Western Conference with a record of 8-1. However, in the next 2 weeks, this balance is very likely to be greatly affected by Kevin Durant's injury.

Durant will be out for at least 14 days due to a left calf strain. The Suns' star suffered the injury during their last victory over the Dallas Mavericks by 114-113.

So far, 'KD' has been one of the best players in the entire NBA. He was averaging 27.6 points in 38.8 minutes per game. It remains to be seen how these 2 weeks will affect his performance.

It should be noted that Kevin Durant had a similar injury in 2019. While still playing for the Golden State Warriors, Durant suffered a right calf strain during the playoffs before tearing his Achilles in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
