The Phoenix Suns are hopeful Kevin Durant returns before the end of the regular season, coach Mike Budenholzer said before Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum. Durant sprained his left ankle in the third quarter of Sunday’s home loss to the Houston Rockets.

Set to appear in his 62nd game of the season, Antetokounmpo put up a strong performance in his most recent outing, though Milwaukee fell short against the Atlanta Hawks in a 145-124 loss. He finished with 31 points on 11-of-18 shooting, along with nine rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 30 minutes of action.
