The Suns have suffered three consecutive road losses, but their recent 104-93 home win against the San Antonio Spurs came as a big boost. Devin Booker led the charge with 29 points, while Durant contributed 13 points before the injury.<\/p><p>The Suns&rsquo; fortunes this season have been closely tied to Kevin Durant&rsquo;s availability. After a flying 9-1 start to the season, the Suns suffered a 1-6 slump after Durant was sidelined due to injury. The veteran&rsquo;s return from injury had sparked a mini resurgence, helping the Suns win two of their last three games.<\/p><p>However, the team is now facing another setback as Durant has once again been sidelined due to injury.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin Durant rolled his ankle on this play and has not returned to the game yet.
