Phoenix Suns coach Frank Vogel provided yet another lengthy injury update before the Suns (19-16) take on the Memphis Grizzlies (12-23) tomorrow night.
Most notably, Kevin Durant will be questionable with a right hamstring strain. Durant has missed the last three games due to the injury and was ruled out of last night’s victory over the Heat less than two hours before tip-off after originally being questionable.
Today, the Suns just did a walkthrough, not a full practice, in preparation for tomorrow’s game.
“His individual work was just the individual shooting (that) they normally go through,” Vogel said of how much Durant did today, “which is high intensity and some sprint work. He’s (also) doing some stuff with the medical team, the range of motion, strengthening those types of things. But he’s gonna be still listed as questionable.”

games,” Vogel said of Bol. “So I mean, there’s been a lot of excitement about our group about what he can contribute, and how he’s grown since the summer with our system. And so it’s disappointing, but it is an ankle sprain, so it’s not something long term. So we’re encouraged about that.”
