ANALYSISDurant has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and will miss at least three games as a result. Based on this re-evaluation date, a potential return on Dec. 13 against the Jazz could be on the table, but it's not guaranteed. The Suns are 1-6 this season with Durant out of the lineup, so this is a brutal blow for the team. In the meantime,
Bradley Beal and
Devin Booker will need to soak up some usage, while
Grayson Allen,
Ryan Dunn and
Royce O'Neale could step into larger roles.
