Kevin Durant returns from injury, Kevin Durant picks up where he left off, showing no signs of rust.
It’s a tale so old, you forget how remarkable it is that seemingly every time Durant steps back on the floor after an absence he doesn’t look hobbled or winded or out of place.
Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers was the latest example of his basketball majesty, continuing his torrid start to the season and helping the Phoenix Suns get back in the win column after a five-game losing streak.
Durant’s 23 points were easy and smooth, effective and non-disruptive to the offensive flow.
