Durant and the Suns return to action tonight out of the All-Star break in a special game against the San Antonio Spurs at Durant's alma mater, the University of Texas Austin.

The Suns were 25-25 at the trade deadline, and Durant was not willing to abort the mission. The team is now 26-28, and Durant is still not willing to abort the mission. "Obviously, when you pay so much for a team, and we're not playing up to our expectation, somebody has to go," Durant said.
