CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kevin Durant made his Phoenix Suns debut Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

Like his previous stops in Seattle, Oklahoma City, Golden State and Brooklyn, the expectations are high — and there is a different level of excitement with Durant’s arrival. The Suns hope Durant’s addition gets them over the hump after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games in the 2021 NBA Finals.
