The day has come: Kevin Durant is going to make his Phoenix Suns debut. This is the moment Suns fans have been waiting for, and it's too bad that it will be on the road against the Charlotte Hornets.
With the much-anticipated debut in store, Durant made some comments that should have Suns fans jumping through the roof, according to the Suns official Twitter account:
“It's great enthusiasm for the game…The energy of the group stands out the most just how enthused everybody is when they come to the gym and that's refreshing. I was going to the facility everyday so it felt like home.”
Durant has been out since the beginning of January and everyone will finally get a look at the new era of Suns basketball. Stephen A. Smith also said that the Kevin Durant-Devin Booker duo would be better than the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving pairing, and we will see soon enough.

It begins Wednesday night.
