Kevin Durant left the Phoenix Suns’ matchup with the Houston Rockets early on Sunday night after rolling his ankle hard in the second half.
The injury came just a quarter after the Suns star got into it briefly with Rockets forward Dillon Brooks — who was then ejected from the game after the scuffle.

Durant was driving to the basket in the third quarter at the Footprint Center when his left foot landed completely on Jabari Smith Jr.’s foot in the lane. Durant’s left ankle rolled hard, which sent him down to the court awkwardly, clearly in a lot of pain.
He was helped up and limped off the floor and back to the locker room. He did not return.
