Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant can rescue their poor run ahead of Olympic play.
PHOENIX -- Fans of the Phoenix Suns have be holding their collective breath over the last few weeks - as star Kevin Durant has missed the entire pre-Olympic pool play with what has been described as a mild calf strain.
They look far too disjointed relative to the talent level of the roster. Stars that should be reaping the benefits of the gravity that LeBron James and Steph Curry provide such as Jayson Tatum have failed to take advantage of the situation at hand.In comes Durant - who instantly becomes the best scorer on the squad while also provides a bit of everything else, including unheralded leadership that has garnered him three gold medals over the course of the last decade-plus.
Team USA says there's not a chance Durant will be replaced on the roster in a similar fashion to how Kawhi Leonard left.
