Postseason Hope Phoenix Suns was massive on Sunday evening, when the All-Star forward Kevin Durant suffered a left ankle injury during a hard decline in the third quarter of 148-109 to Houston missiles on March 30 during the NBA regular game. At night she also saw the missiles forward Brooks fired after a heated quarrel with Durant and Suns Center Nick Richards.
Durant’s injuries occurred when 6:57 am in the third quarter when he collided with Houston Jabari Smith Jr. Smith was called to a foul and durant, as he seemed to enter Smith’s leg, was unable to put any weight on his left leg when he helped him out of court.
Chief coach Suns Mike Budenholzer announced after the game that Durant needed MRI on Monday, after which he decided to stay behind, while his team went on a trip with three games to face Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.
The sun must fight in the next two weeks because it must provide a place among the candidates for the conference. The sun remains two games for Dallas Mavericks at the last position in the Western Conference Play-in Tournament, the remaining six matches.
Durant ended with 11 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes of action before he left. At the beginning of this season he moved to the eighth place on the NBA list.
Dillon Brooks fired after a judge
The intensity of the game was cooked late in the first half, when Dillon Brooks was evaluated foul on Durant, leading to a thickening match including Brooks, Durant and Suns Center Nick Richards. Brooks, visibly upset about the call, continued to guess with the judges and eventually fired after receiving two technical mistakes.
Molly Qerim: “Was the Fair of Dillon Brooks?”

The NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith and several fans took the social media to criticize the decision, and claim that Brooks’ ejection was excessive.
“That leads me to madness. I’m watching the game and Dillon Brooks did not deserve to throw away,” Smith posted on X.
Brooks is one of the most aggressive NBA defenders, this was marked by Brooks’ first embarrassment of the season and his seventh career. His 235 league fouls place him on the top of the records of this season and stand dangerously close to earning an automatic ban on one game by collecting one more technical foul.
Houston’s victory received them for 12 wins in 13 games, because they secured space 2 at the Western Conference. The head coach Rockets IME Udka attributed Brooks for radiating the team’s energy, despite being ejected.
“Everyone thanked the Dillon at half -time for igniting us tonight,” Udka said Postgame. “It is obvious that you do not want to shoot, but these moments connect our team together.”
What hope Play -off Phoenix Suns?
The sun, which is already trying to secure Postseason bed, now faces a critical problem without their leader shooter Kevin Durant. The upcoming Phoenix road game during April, between Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, along with the New York Knicks, will prove to be critical for their playoff position. Fans can expect updates to MRI Kevin Durant results, indicating its opportunity to return to the basketball event while Suns is fighting to maintain its Play -off position.
