For the Suns, Kevin Durant had 33 points and Devin Booker added 28 with eight assists in the loss, but the Timberwolves were too much to handle. One concerning thing for the Suns was Durant wearing a wrap on his left thumb, although he still shot 13-of-19 from the field and didn't have a single turnover in the game.

Kevin Durant received his 15th NBA All-Star nod. He is questionable with a thumb injury in the Phoenix Suns' next game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.

For the Suns, they need Durant in the lineup to continue their recent hot streak. Phoenix has won three consecutive games and eight of their last 10 contests. They now sit eighth in the Western Conference standings with a 24-21 record after falling all the way to 12th in the standings.

The Phoenix Suns (23-21) host the Los Angeles Clippers (26-19) on Monday, airing on Arizona's Family (Ch. 3 TV) and NBA TV at 7:30 p.m. This is the Suns' second game of a three-game homestand and the third of a four-game Pacific Division season series.

All-Star Game starter Kevin Durant was not having it with negative Suns fans on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.

The Phoenix Suns entered tonight's big matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves with both Kevin Durant (left thumb injury) and Ryan Dunn (left ankle sprain) questionable. Despite the injuries, both players are active for the matchup.
