On Sunday evening, the Phoenix Suns will host the Memphis Grizzlies in Arizona.
For the game, the Suns could be without their best player, as Kevin Durant is on the injury report.
The 2014 MVP has missed each of the previous three games, so this would be his fourth straight out of the lineup (if he doesn’t play).
Via Underdog NBA: “Kevin Durant (hamstring) questionable for Sunday.”

"KD goes as hard in his workouts as any player I've been around. It's full speed. Movement. Aggressive jabs. Pullups. Game intensity."
