It's been reported that the Phoenix Suns are likely to trade Kevin Durant this summer given their ongoing struggles and his reported unhappiness that they tried to move him before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. However, the door isn't fully closed on him staying in Phoenix next season.

Phoenix is currently 35–40, one game behind the Sacramento Kings for 10th place in the Western Conference, and the team’s slim hopes of making the playoffs were dealt a serious blow on Monday when Kevin Durant was ruled out for at least a week with an ankle injury.

Kevin Durant isn't expected to join the Suns on their three-game road trip after spraining his left ankle Sunday, coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday, adding that he's hopeful the 11-time all-NBA forward will return before the end of the regular season.
