Ahead of the Suns matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, Frank Vogel clarified why Kevin Durant is missing another game with right hamstring soreness.
Originally, Vogel seemed hopeful that Durant would only be out for one night, but, according to the Suns’ HC, KD was not cleared by Phoenix’s medical team so he will be out at least one more game.
Against the Trail Blazers on New Year’s Day, the Suns managed to be just fine without their top scorer as they blew out Portland by 21 points. This win was led by Bradley Beal and a strong performance from Phoenix’s bench.
