For the game, the Suns could be without their best player, as 2014 MVP Kevin Durant is on the injury report. Durant is averaging 27.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 52.3% from the field and 39.8% from the three-point range in 35 games.

For the Suns, Kevin Durant had 33 points and Devin Booker added 28 with eight assists in the loss, but the Timberwolves were too much to handle. One concerning thing for the Suns was Durant wearing a wrap on his left thumb, although he still shot 13-of-19 from the field and didn't have a single turnover in the game.

Kevin Durant received his 15th NBA All-Star nod. He is questionable with a thumb injury in the Phoenix Suns' next game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
