Suns' Kevin Durant: Approaching unrestricted activity

Coach Mike Budenholzer stated that Durant (ankle) logged 90 percent participation in Wednesday's practice, Dana Scott of AZ Central reports. His next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Utah.

Durant approaching full practice bodes well for an imminent return. The 36-year-old has been sidelined for Phoenix's last three contests -- all of which have been losses -- after spraining his left ankle in a Dec. 3 victory over San Antonio.
