Suns' Kevin Durant: Posts season-high 43 points in loss
Kevin Durant amassed 43 points (14-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 133-125 loss to Detroit.Durant's best scoring performance of the season wasn't enough to beat the Pistons, who inched closer to .500 with the win. Durant and company were down for most of the game, but a 15-point flurry from Durant gave the Phoenix Suns a bit of hope in the fourth quarter. If Devin Booker (groin) misses another game, fantasy managers should expect another superior stat line from Durant.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Out at least one week
Kevin Durant (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.Durant has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and will miss at least three games as a result. Based on this re-evaluation date, a potential return on Dec. 13 against the Jazz could be on the table, but it's not guaranteed. The Phoenix Suns are 1-6 this season with Durant out of the lineup, so this is a brutal blow for the team. In the meantime, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker will need to soak up some usage, while Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale could step into larger roles.
