Throughout the 2024-25 Phoenix Suns season, head coach Mike Budenholzer continues to be amazed by Kevin Durant. Although the latter has won his fair share of championships, MVPs, and Finals MVPs, he remains committed to the game of basketball.

For the Suns, they need Durant in the lineup to continue their recent hot streak. Phoenix has won three consecutive games and eight of their last 10 contests. They now sit eighth in the Western Conference standings with a 24-21 record after falling all the way to 12th in the standings.
