Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a left calf strain sustained during a recent game against the Dallas Mavericks. This injury comes as Durant has been instrumental in the Suns' impressive 8-1 start to the NBA season, averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.

With Durant out, teammates Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will need to step up their scoring efforts. Royce O'Neale is expected to take on additional minutes in Durant's absence as the team prepares for their next game against the Sacramento Kings.
