Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal out for Phoenix Suns game with Knicks

play

Phoenix Suns starters Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant have been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the New York Knicks (8-6) at Footprint Center due to left calf injuries.

The Suns (9-6) are 1-5 without Durant and have lost their last four games without Durant and Beal, who last played in Phoenix’s last win on Nov. 12 over the Utah Jazz.

Durant is scheduled to be reevaluated for two weeks later this week. He suffered his injury on November 8 in Dallas.

Suns center Jusuf Nurkic is questionable for Wednesday’s game with a sprained left ankle as he sat out Monday’s home loss to the Orlando Magic.

Nurkic initially sprained his ankle against the Mavericks and has been in and out of the lineup since.

The Suns are also without two-way player Collin Gillespie with a right ankle fracture. He suffered his injury while playing for Phoenix’s G League team, Valley Suns.

Gillespie is due to be reevaluated in three weeks based on the four-week timetable the Suns provided when announcing the injury on Nov. 12.
