NBA Injury News
Kevin Durant is expected to return to the lineup for the Brooklyn Nets after missing the past three games with a thigh contusion.
Clint Capela, who missed the Hawks' previous game due to a back contusion, is considered questionable prior to their game on Sunday. Trae Young, Tony Snell, De'Andre Hunter, and Cam Reddish are all out.
The Phoenix Suns will be without Dario Saric, Jae Crowder, Langston Galloway, and Abdel Nader Sunday. Saric is unavailable on the front end of a back-to-back due to left ankle injury management. Cam Johnson is dealing with a fractured nose, but has yet to miss a game — he will likely remain in the starting lineup with Crowder and Saric unavailable.
Jonas Valanciunas has been upgraded to questionable in advance of Sunday's game after missing the prior three games due to a concussion. Jaren Jackson Jr. will be held out in the first leg of a back-to-back. There is no word on if Valanciunas will have a minutes limit if he suits up.
