PHOENIX -- Kevin Durant slipped and sprained his left ankle during pregame warmups Wednesday, knocking him out of what was supposed to be his first home game with the Phoenix Suns.
The team is hopeful Durant avoided a serious sprain but he is scheduled for an MRI Thursday to determine the severity of the injury. Durant left the Footprint Center in a walking boot after the Suns beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 132-101.
Devin Booker, who is on one of the hottest streaks of his career, still gave the disappointed crowd a show by exploding for 44 points on 17-of-23 shooting in just 28 minutes in leading the team to its fourth consecutive win.
