Kevin Durant is making his debut with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. After being traded from the Nets in February, Durant's return from a knee injury is much anticipated. The preparation for this event reached its peak on Thursday when Durant participated in a two-hour intense workout and scrimmage with the team at their first official gathering after the All-Star Break. While Durant has been ruled out for Friday's home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he is expected to make his big return on the upcoming four-game road trip.

Durant is already making an impact on the entire team with his hard work and dedication. His teammate Devin Booker noted that his individual workouts are "something that inspires people to get after it in their own workouts." He went on to add "A lot of teams have one good defender or two good defenders, now you have to find who you're going to put them on."
