UPDATE: Kevin Durant is listed as questionable for Friday’s game (according to the NBA’s official injury report).

The Phoenix Suns are set to host the Miami Heat on Friday evening, and there is uncertainty about the availability of their star player, Kevin Durant. Durant has been sidelined for the last two games due to a hamstring injury.

During Thursday’s practice, head coach Frank Vogel provided an update on Durant’s condition, stating that the player engaged in non-contact work, including sprints, to test the hamstring. Vogel mentioned that Durant’s status is still considered day-to-day.

The Suns will release their official injury report later in the day, shedding light on whether Durant will be able to participate in the upcoming game. Durant, a former MVP, has showcased his enduring excellence this season, averaging 29.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game, with impressive shooting percentages.

Despite Durant’s absence, the Suns have maintained a competitive position in the Western Conference, currently holding the ninth seed with an 18-16 record in 34 games. They are 5-5 in their last ten matchups, including a recent home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers (131-122). Devin Booker delivered a notable performance in that game, contributing 35 points, two rebounds, and six assists.

Following the matchup against the Miami Heat, the Suns will stay at home to face Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. The team holds a 10-10 record in 20 games played on their home court.
