Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the entire NBA. Overall, he is someone who can be a game-changer every single night, and teams are aware of that. With Durant having issues in Brooklyn, it became clear that a ton of teams wanted to take advantage by going out and trying to secure a trade. In the end, it was the Phoenix Suns who came out on top thanks to a deal that sent a lot of players to Brooklyn. Subsequently, the Suns are seen as title favorites right now, and there is no doubt that KD is ready to get it started in his new home.
For now, however, KD will not be able to play for the Suns until after the All-Star break. This is due to the fact that he is currently nursing an injury. However, he will eventually be allowed to come back. Suns fans are eagerly waiting for that day to come, and so is Durant. Although he can't play, he is still allowed to show up to the team's games. For instance, last night, Durant made his very first appearance in Phoenix as a member of the Suns.
