Kevin Durant made his return after nearly 2 months break in his debut for the Phoenix Suns.

Player of the Game EFF 37 Devin Booker Points 37 Accuracy 15-26 Rebounds 6 Assists 7

In a 105-91 win against the Charlotte Hornets, Durant finished the game with 23 points (8/11 2PT, 2/4 3PT, 1/1 FT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 turnovers in 27 minutes of play.

After the game, Durant said he's feeling well inside the team.

"I feel like I fit in pretty well, everybody out there was trying to make me as comfortable as possible," Durant said. "I just got to keep grinding, man, and this jersey on me will look normal as games go on."

However, Durant admitted that he felt nervous before the game.

"New environment, new situation, new teammates, I mean, I always feel I got to prove myself to my teammates and my coaches every single day no matter what I've done in the league," Durant said. "So I feel like there's pressure to be who I am every day."

Meanwhile, Devin Booker, who added 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, was in awe after playing with Durant on the court.

"This is one of those moments that doesn't really feel real," Booker said. "I mean, every time he shoots the ball, it's so effortless. You can see defenders trying their hardest to contest or fight over a screen, and he just looks unbothered, unfazed."

Head coach Monty Williams also praised Durant by pointing out how much easier his life becomes having such a player.

"It's just pretty cool to be able to give the guy the ball, and he could get to his spot and get a really good shot," Williams said. "I thought the team fed off of him just being himself tonight."
