Report: Kevin Durant targeting Suns debut Wednesday, March 1, against Charlotte Hornets

Newly-acquired Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is targeting to make his debut with the team Wednesday on the road against the Charlotte Hornets, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Durant, who was traded to the Suns for forwards Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, four unprotected first-round picks and a pick swap in 2028 Feb. 9, has not played since Jan. 8 due to an isolated MCL sprain in his right knee. Durant was observed in practices in the days after he was traded, but Suns coach Monty Williams said upon his arrival he had not participated in 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 drills.
