Mike Budenholzer on where the Suns have struggled most without Kevin Durant: “I think defensively, we’re probably not as good as we need to be to win games. We’ve had a couple of tough stretches defensively within a game. And then I think the rebounding has stood out” pic.x.com/AxzXNCIh1C12:13 PM

Mason Plumlee on where the Suns have fallen short without KD: “He bails us out in a lot of tough late-clock situations, obviously he’s our closer in the final moments.

Duane Rankin: Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant said his left ankle is “feeling as best as it’s going to feel right now. True gauge is real game minutes. I’m looking forward to that.” #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / December 13, 2024
Kevin Durant: I’ve accepted that most people will die haters. // Has bro reached acceptance ?? ???? -via x.com / December 13, 2024
The Suns (12-11), according to Gambadoro, are not currently approaching a trade for Butler but will take the next 10-15 games with a potentially healthy roster to find out what they have. Kevin Durant (ankle) is trending toward being healthy and available starting this weekend, and Phoenix has gone 11-2 in games that he’s played. -via Arizona’s Sports Page / December 13, 2024
