Kevin Durant will be sidelined for the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday due to ankle soreness. This absence coincides with recent reports that his name has surfaced in trade discussions over the past few days.

“There are teams aggressively poaching the Phoenix Suns and trying to get them to entertain the possibility of letting KD go,” said NBA insider Chris Haynes during an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.

Despite these talks, Haynes clarified that a deal remains improbable at this stage. “I’m told it’s still unlikely,” he added, emphasizing Phoenix’s current reluctance to move their star player.
