The fever pitch for Kevin Durant's anticipated first game with the Phoenix Suns might have to wait another week.
The Athletic's top NBA insider Shams Charania tweeted late Wednesday afternoon that Durant's debut has been delayed from its original target date of Friday at home against his former team Oklahoma City Thunder to March 1 at the Charlotte Hornets.
Durant will be playing his first game since his MCL sprain that he suffered on Jan. 8 when he was a member of the Brooklyn Nets during their win at the Miami Heat.
