UPDATE: Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant will miss tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to personal reasons, marking a significant delay in his return to Phoenix, where he previously played for 2.5 seasons. This news comes just hours before the game scheduled for November 27, 2025, creating a buzz among fans eager to see the 15-time All-Star back on the court.
Durant, who has been a pivotal player for the Rockets with an impressive average of 26.8 points over his time with the Suns, was officially listed as out in the injury report released last night. His absence is felt more keenly as he leads the Rockets, who currently hold a strong 10-4 record.
This game was particularly anticipated due to Durant’s trade to the Rockets in a blockbuster seven-team deal that sent players including Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green to the Suns. The Suns utilized their acquired No. 10 overall pick to draft Duke center Khaman Maluach, further intensifying the stakes of this matchup.
Meanwhile, the Suns are enjoying a solid season, with their record improving to 11-6 after a recent victory against the San Antonio Spurs. The development of this game now hangs in the balance as fans and analysts alike speculate on how the Rockets will adjust without their leading scorer.
As the NBA community watches closely, all eyes are on how both teams will perform in this crucial game, and what further updates regarding Durant’s situation will emerge. Stay tuned for more developments as they unfold.
