I thought out loud about all the rotation choices that are coming for the Suns with Kevin Durant entering the lineup.
A long look at how The Stagger evolves, the fifth starter, the fifth closer and more of what to watch for in these 20 games: arizonasports.com/story/3512689/… – 6:29 PM

Suns are listing Kevin Durant as probable for tomorrow’s game against the Hornets.
Landry Shamet remains out.
No LaMelo Ball or Cody Martin for Charlotte and P.J. Washington is doubtful. – 5:38 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
There have been lots of conversations between Williams and Durant already about what the Suns like to do in certain on-court situations with both sides.
Williams isn’t holding any expectations for tomorrow besides the team playing hard, executing and doing everything to win. – 5:28 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Monty Williams confirmed Kevin Durant will be on a minutes restriction tomorrow. Said the team doesn’t know yet if KD will get a game off after, similar to how the Suns handled returns for Booker and Johnson.

“It’s going to take me some time to get used to everything early on. As far as just having fun and getting lost in the game, I’m looking forward to doing that again.”

When Devin Booker came back from groin injury, he played at Brooklyn, but didn’t play next game at Atlanta. Injury management.
Monty Williams said he didn’t know if #Suns will follow same strategy with Kevin Durant, who’ll make debut tomorrow at Hornets.

“When I talk to him, it’s about experiences we’ve both had, about a game that I’ve watched him play and I asked him about a certain situation. Something that we do that he may not be clear on.”

A major question has been who will be the fifth starter with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton.
Who is the last one leaving the court?
Josh Okogie.
Monty Williams has said Okogie or Torrey Craig will get the start partly based on matchups. #Suns pic.twitter.com/NDBuE9GBZq – 2:20 PM

Some of this can just be summarized as “KD is really good at almost everything,” but if you enjoy the minutiae of the Suns offense and/or the aesthetic beauty of Durant’s game, this should be a fun one – 11:27 AM

The delivery could have been a bit better, but the message from Giannis to Jokic, Luka, and KD is STRONG!!! 😂🤣😂

I love Charles Barkley. Asking Kevin Durant to win the title as a leader when he’s got Chris Paul and Devin Booker on his team makes as much sense as him playing “who he play for?” I used to write and break stories. I can’t give Pulitzer prize parameters having never won one. 🤫 – 9:40 AM

The LA Clippers pick swap is the most interesting watch for Houston down the stretch. 14 teams are separated by 3 losses, from pick #21 to pick #8.
What would help the #Rockets is teams getting healthy. PHX (KD), GSW (Curry), MIN (KAT) and NOP (Zion) are all missing key players. pic.twitter.com/Q773uRNb6x – 4:44 PM

“I’m sure Kev is coming back soon so we can see what that looks like.”
“We feel more anxious than the fans.”
