Kevin Durant Hopes To Have A Healthy Season
The Phoenix Suns have had a rocky start to the season. They’re currently 5-6 and are yet to play with their big three of Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal healthy together. Durant has been the most available of the three, playing in all of the Suns’ 11 games so far. He hopes to avoid injury after it’s slowed him down every season since his Achilles tear in 2019.
“Some sh*t is going to happen, it’s going to happen. You try to prevent me from being injured or being out there, I honestly don’t know what good that does. Just let me play. Whatever happens happens and just trust that we’ll figure it out from there. If we do what we have to do on the floor every night, guys won’t have to play 40 minutes a night. We just go to be ready to play.”
Durant is averaging 30.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. He hopes to deliver on the championship expectations placed upon him but seems ready for the challenge right now.
