As the dust settles from a weekend of drama, the Nets are back in action on Tuesday night when they host the Suns.
It's a big night for Phoenix, which returns Devin Booker to the lineup as the star guard returns after missing six weeks of action with a groin injury. While the Suns return a star, the Nets continue to adjust to life without one as Tuesday marks the second game of the post-Kyrie Irving era.
After dealing Irving to Dallas on Sunday, Tuesday's game could be when Spencer Dinwiddie begins his second stint with the Nets and Dorian Finney-Smith makes his Brooklyn debut.
Whether or not Dinwiddie or Finney-Smith suit up remains to be seen, but the bigger question surrounds the availability of All-Star Kevin Durant, who has been out since suffering a knee injury on Jan. 8.
Here is the latest on Durant's status on Tuesday.

Is Kevin Durant playing vs. Suns tonight?
Because it is the second end of a back-to-back, the official injury report has not yet been made available, but Durant was inactive on Monday and is not expected to suit up on Tuesday.
While Durant has expressed his intentions to return to the floor before All-Star weekend commences next week, the Nets have just five games until All-Star, including Tuesday's tilt with the Suns.
