While the Phoenix Suns have been borderline impressive this season when they have been healthy, it has been a different story when Kevin Durant has been unable to play.
He missed some games earlier this season with a calf strain, and he’s currently out with a sprained ankle, which has been a factor in them losing three games in a row.
With a 12-11 record, the Suns sit in 10th place in the Western Conference right now, and per Evan Sidery, they’re expected to be active on the trade market in the coming weeks.
Three of their key rotation players — center Jusuf Nurkic and guards Grayson Allen and Josh Okogie — are expected to be available on the market according to Sidery.
The Suns will be active on the trade market.

Nurkic has had his moments as a member of the Suns, but he could be called an overall disappointment since joining them prior to last season, as his scoring is down from prior seasons.
Allen and Okogie are good 3-point shooters that could be somewhat attractive to a team looking to upgrade its bench a bit.
Phoenix is under tremendous pressure to win the NBA championship after trading for Durant.
Durant is 36 years of age, and while he’s still playing at a high level, he only has so much game left in his body in his 17th NBA season.
