This might be the worst the Phoenix Suns have looked this season, and Kevin Durant understands it.

As his teammate, Suns guard Devin Booker dropped a cryptic message, Durant was more straightforward. He spoke to reporters […]

The New York Knicks’ center Mitchell Robinson is almost back from injury. Robinson could return as soon as this weekend.
