KD out at least 2 weeks with calf strain
Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant will miss at least two weeks of action after sustaining a left calf strain during Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks, the team announced Saturday, according to The Athletic's Fred Katz.
It's unclear when Durant suffered the injury, but he finished Friday's game with 26 points, five boards, four assists, and two blocks in 37 minutes.
The two-time Finals MVP will miss at least seven contests under the recovery timeline provided.
Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen are the most likely candidates to replace Durant in the starting lineup.
Phoenix went 5-2 last season with Durant sidelined.
Durant is averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 boards, 3.4 assists, and 1.4 blocks across nine appearances this season. He leads all players with 35 points in clutch situations.
Durant's strong play has propelled the Suns to a West-leading 8-1 mark.
