The Phoenix Suns have listed All-Star forward Kevin Durant as questionable for Wednesday’s home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a right thumb injury. Rookie forward Ryan Dunn is also questionable after suffering a sprained left ankle that kept him out of Monday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Durant has played in the last 22 games for Phoenix after missing 10 games earlier this season due to left calf and ankle injuries. On Monday, he played 40 minutes, scoring 24 points along with five assists, four rebounds, and two steals. The 36-year-old has scored at least 23 points in 20 consecutive games. Durant was recently named an All-Star for the 15th time, averaging a team-high 27.1 points per game on 52.3% shooting.
Dunn, meanwhile, injured his ankle during the first quarter of Phoenix’s win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday. Royce O’Neale started in his place on Monday.
For the Timberwolves, sharpshooter Donte DiVincenzo has been ruled out due to a left toe sprain and has missed the last six games. Rookie guard Terrence Shannon Jr. is also out with a right foot sprain. Rookie guard Rob Dillingham, the No. 8 overall pick from Kentucky, is questionable due to an illness.
Minnesota currently holds the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 25-21 record, just ahead of Phoenix, who sits at 24-21 in the eighth spot. The Timberwolves defeated the Suns 120-117 in their previous matchup on November 17, a game in which Durant did not play.
