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.

Kevin Durant is glad to return to Austin, where he once starred at Texas, as the Suns visit the Spurs on Thursday.

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.
