Suns' Kevin Durant: Out at least two weeks
Kevin Durant suffered a left calf strain in Friday's 114-113 win over the Mavericks and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Durant was on the floor for the final minutes of Friday's win, but he was apparently playing with a compromised calf during that stretch. Given that he'll merely be re-evaluated in two weeks, Durant is likely to miss additional time beyond that, given that he'll presumably require a ramp-up period before being cleared for game action. For whatever length of time Durant is sidelined, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will be the two focal points in Phoenix's offense. Durant's absence could also free up more minutes for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn (ankle).

Suns' Kevin Durant: Scores 21 points in win
Kevin Durant produced 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 victory over the Trail Blazers.Durant bounced back from the season-low 18-point mark he delivered in the win over the Clippers on Thursday, and he remains a consistent offensive option in a star-studded offensive scheme that also includes Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. That said, even though a two-game stretch is not enough to draw conclusions, Durant has failed to reach the 25-point mark in his last two contests after doing so in his first four.
