Durant to Miss Suns, Warriors Games Due to Family Matter

HOUSTON – Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant will be sidelined for the next two games, including a highly anticipated return to Phoenix, due to a family matter, sources confirmed. The Rockets will face the Phoenix Suns on Monday and the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

This will be the first missed games this season for Durant, who has been a key contributor to Houston’s impressive 10-4 start, averaging 24.6 points. The matchup against the Suns was especially significant as it would have marked Durant’s first game back in Phoenix since the blockbuster trade that sent him to Houston in the offseason.

Adding to the Rockets’ challenges, Jalen Green will also be unavailable for the Suns game due to a hamstring injury, limiting his playing time to two games thus far.

Durant’s absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Rockets, who have become one of the league’s top offensive teams since his arrival and are considered a Western Conference contender. The team hopes for Durant’s swift return as they continue their push towards playoff contention.
