If KD plays all seven remaining regular-season games starting on Wednesday against the Wolves, he will have played 10 total for the Suns.
Will KD go over or under 10 playoff games for the Suns this postseason? – 4:17 PM

If Kevin Durant does in fact return for the Timberwolves game on March 29, that’ll mark exactly 3 weeks since the injury and 20 days since he was given a 3-week re-evaluation period. The Suns have 3 more games between now and then against the Kings, 76ers and Jazz – 4:15 PM

Up five games on Phoenix. -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / March 23, 2023
Karl-Anthony Towns, who suffered the injury in a game vs. the Washington Wizards, said a Grade 3 calf sprain “is really just a tear.” “When you have a torn calf, that’s a significant one,” Towns said. “It takes time. And being my size, you don’t want it to become like Kevin Durant in Golden State.” -via ESPN / March 22, 2023
