Year 21 and LeBron James’s the first to the Lakers vs Suns
Kevin Durant Shares Excitement To Face A Living Legend Again
On Thursday night, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns will travel to Los Angeles to take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in one of the most anticipated NBA games of the season.
There hasn’t been a meaningful matchup between Durant and James on the basketball court since the Lakers and Suns played in the preseason, so tonight’s game is a must-watch for basketball fans.
It’s evident that Durant is looking forward to the challenge of going up against the four-time NBA champion LeBron James in Thursday night’s divisional matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.
As NBACentral reports, Durant referred to James as “arguably the best ever” in a short promotional film released before Thursday’s game in Los Angeles.
Unfortunately for Durant, both Suns rookie Bradley Beal and fellow superstar Devin Booker are injured and will miss tonight’s game against the Lakers.
Beаl hаs yet tо be cleаreԀ tо plаy fоr the Suns оn ThursԀаy аfter missing the teаm’s seаsоn оpener with the GоlԀen Stаte Wаrriоrs Ԁue tо а bаck injury.
Booker, a regular All-Star, scored a game-high 32 points to help the Suns beat the Warriors last Tuesday. However, the superstar is now dealing with a foot issue.
On the other side, Durant will need an impressive performance to give the Suns an edge against LeBron James' Lakers this coming Thursday.
