Kevin Durant's back, the 4th seed seems to be locked down, and the future is looking bright for the Phoenix Suns, at the very least from owner Mat Ishbia's perspective.
The man he flew in from New York in the early hours of February's trade deadline is back on the court and showing exactly what those hours of missed sleep bought: A chance to pave the way for a deep playoff run.
The former MVP is averaging a ridiculous 26.7 points on 69 per cent shooting in his last three games. He made his home debut on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves and notched another 16 points.
With two weeks still on the clock, Durant's team-mates can enjoy his presence in the starting five and work on the chemistry they'll rely on in the postseason drip.
