Video showed Durant warming up for his highly anticipated first game as a Suns player at Footprint Center, and he appeared to slip on a dunk attempt.

After staying seated on the court for a few seconds, Durant got back up and finished his normal work before heading back to the locker room.

Doug Haller of The Athletic said Durant tightened his sneakers before working out for 10 more minutes.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns handles the ball during a game March 5, 2023, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.  (Glenn James/NBAE via Getty Images) However, once he got back to the locker room, Durant clearly couldn’t participate at full strength against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
