Kevin Durant received his 15th NBA All-Star nod. He is questionable with a thumb injury in the Phoenix Suns' next game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
All-Star Game starter Kevin Durant was not having it with negative Suns fans on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
Phoenix Suns rookie, Ryan Dunn, selected 29th overall in the NBA Draft, has rapidly adjusted to the league's style and demands, strongly exceeding initial expectations.
Durant remains questionable on Phoenix's latest injury report, but his lack of participation at shootaround is a worrying sign for his fantasy managers. Ryan Dunn (ankle) is also questionable, so the Suns may need guys like Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen to step up against the Timberwolves.

Dillingham is averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 rebounds per game this season, and he's scored in double digits in three of his last six games.

Anthony Edwards scored 33 points, Julius Randle added 28 and the Minnesota Timberwolves won their fourth straight game by beating the Phoenix Suns 121-113 on Wednesday night.
