The Phoenix Suns on Tuesday suddenly listed star forward Kevin Durant as doubtful on their injury report for Wednesday's road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder just as trade rumors perked up.

Kevin Durant has been downgraded to doubtful for the Suns Wednesday's game due to an ankle sprain, according to Marc Stein.

Phoenix acquired Durant at the 2023 trade deadline along with T.J. Warren by sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four unprotected first-round picks and a 2028 first-round pick swap to the Brooklyn Nets. It was the kind of move a team only makes if it expects to win a championship. That hasn't happened.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant has been deeply involved in those discussions. According to Brett Siegel at ClutchPoints, the Warriors have made Durant their "main priority" in the trade market. Siegel also mentioned that Golden State also has their second option in line, the Miami Heat 's Jimmy Butler .

With their dynasty’s window closing, the Warriors are so desperate to try to squeeze one more championship out of this era that they have at least contemplated making moves that would be even more shocking than the Luka Doncic trade.

The annual trade deadline for the NBA is quickly approaching as the deadline is set for Thursday at 3:00 PM EST. Many names have been tied to the 2024-2025 deadline especially following the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks and Luka Doncic to the Lakers.
