The Phoenix Suns Look SCARY

The Phoenix Suns were a wildcard coming into the 2025 NBA season and have so far been a dominant force in the Western Conference. Kevin Durant has looked like an MVP candidate, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker haven't really even got going yet, role players like Jusuf Nurkic, Royce O'Neale, Tyus Jones, and Ryan Dunn have contributed, and Mike Budenholzer has brought it all together seamlessly. It has them positioned with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed in the West and tied for the second best record only behind the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's been a statement start to the year, although a Kevin Durant calf injury now threatens them. Let's talk about it.

KD really got injured just before this video

[behindthearcyt]

I thought the cone curse only happened after the video about a team or player dropped. But KD got hurt while the video was being edited the cone curse has grown even more powerful…

[nic]

Luckily the KD injury happened right before the Suns play the Kings, Jazz, and Kings again. It's time to prove they're a real team now instead of just "KD & pals" and I think this three game stretch will be a good test of that.

[stevenneal]

Hopefully kd can come back okay after that calf strain.

[DustySides]

LOL - folks out there really trying to say that it’s okay to foul a last second play, and it should never be called. “4th quarter, one second to go, and this is why coach has 5 pro bowl safeties on his bench. Watch how he tackles Lebron on the inbounds pass, totally legal of course.”

[jeanpayano]

I feel confortable with Booker and Beal stepping up while KD out specially because they have Bud as a coach.

[odysseusdadon]

They have to handle kd calf strain well coz he got this injury twice so far if you count the off-season. There’s a risk he gets an Achilles which is a worst case scenario

[Brokentoasters]

Just relishing the pre injury suns content 😪

[opiniononion]

Bud is a good coach, Bucks should not have got rid of him

[OrangeUaLemon]

I was talking about how good KD was doing to a coworker last night, thought in my head how I hope he doesn’t get hurt, I didn’t want to say it out loud and jinx him. It must have been announced right around the time I was thinking it. Guess I intuited it, just had a feelings what a bummer

[MelaveliEntertainment]

KD injured so Booker gotta step up now

[FeDx]

Suns are deep this year so they’ll go 7-3 over that 10 game stretch without KD …

[Rasputin-]

This is what happens when you play a 36 year old almost 39 minutes a night. 🙄

[lennonwoolf]

I don’t know how are we gonna win without KD for the next two weeks?

[joseorta]

Booker and Beal gotta step up now KD out 2 weeks and it’s 7 games

[lennonwoolf]

I think suns fans should panic because we’re without KD but we have in the starting five without him, tyus Jones, Devin Booker Bradley Beal Ryan Dunn, and Nurkic

[jay-ksex]

Bro you trolling dropping this right after kd got injured..smh

[yahcubvods]

it’s the suns curse, getting suns fans hopes up each season then doing nothing

[Nuvendil]

Biggest concern for the Suns, injuries aside, is that they are MASSIVELY overperforming their net rating. They're winning basically all their clutch games and have only a few comfortable wins. We've seen this before, and it isn't sustainable. But the potential is definitely there.

[Mickelson]

Not a single nba fan will have any explanation why they are better this year except slobbin on kd
And they will have no explanation when they continue to win when kd is hurt
