Kevin Durant will make his return to action Wednesday when the Phoenix Suns host the Minnesota Timberwolves, CBS Sports' Bill Reiter confirmed. Durant suffered a sprained ankle during warmups ahead of a game against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and has been out recovering from that injury ever since. He missed almost two months earlier in the season while recovering from an MCL sprain. Durant has played only three games for the Suns since being traded from the Brooklyn Nets in February.

Luka Doncic injury update: Mavericks star questionable vs. Pistons on Monday due to sprained ankle

Recently-named All-Star starter Luka Doncic has been upgraded to questionable for the Dallas Mavericks' matchup with the Detroit Pistons on Monday, the team announced on Sunday. Doncic suffered a sprained ankle during the first quarter of the Mavericks' win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, and missed the team's loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday.  With just under nine minutes to play versus the Suns, Doncic tried to drive to the basket but was cut off by Cameron Johnson and had to spin back the other way. As he did so, he stepped right on Mikal Bridges' foot and awkwardly rolled his left ankle . He immediately winced in pain and hobbled back down the floor. After Torrey Craig hit a 3-pointer, the Mavericks called a timeout to get Doncic out of the Game .  Luka went back to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury . pic.twitter.com/zHz5XBVawO — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) ...
