Kevin Durant made his triumphant return to the court on Sunday, scoring 23 points in the Brooklyn Nets’ 128-119 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The game marked Durant’s first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury that kept him out of action for over two months. Durant’s return was highly anticipated by fans and pundits alike, as the Nets have struggled in his absence, going just 12-11 without him in the lineup.
Durant looked sharp in his return, showing no signs of rust as he knocked down shots from all over the floor. He finished the game with an efficient 9-of-13 shooting performance, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. In addition to his scoring output, Durant also chipped in with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.
Despite Durant’s impressive performance, the Nets still had to battle to secure the win against a talented Suns team. Kyrie Irving led the way for Brooklyn, scoring a game-high 34 points to go along with 12 assists. James Harden also had a strong showing, finishing with 20 points and 11 assists.
With Durant back in the fold, the Nets will look to build momentum heading into the playoffs. The team has championship aspirations, and Durant’s return gives them a major boost as they gear up for what promises to be a challenging postseason.
