It's unclear if the Suns have a timeline for Durant's return.

In Friday's 114-113 win, Durant played a team-leading 37 minutes with 26 points, five rebounds and four assists, but it's unclear when he suffered the calf issue.

It's been a strong start for the 36-year-old Durant and for the Suns, who started the 2024-25 season with an 8-1 record.

Meanwhile, Durant is averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists so far, marking a great start to the year for the 14-time All-Star.

The news comes after it was revealed that Pelicans' Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Grizzlies' Ja Morant (hip) have time-consuming injuries, and two other big-name players are injured. It was announced after what happened.
