Kevin Durant makes Phoenix Suns debut in win over Charlotte Hornets

NBA superstar Kevin Durant made his Suns debut Wednesday night in a 105-91 win against the Charlotte Hornets, nearly a month after he was traded to Phoenix.

Durant got the start in his return from a knee injury and finished with 23 points (10-for-15 shooting) while playing 27 minutes due to a minutes restriction. He added six rebounds, two assists and two blocks for good measure in his first game since Jan. 8.

He got into the action early, scoring five of Phoenix's first seven points.
