Kevin Durant is out for at least two weeks with a left calf strain, putting a damper on a hot start to the season for the Suns.

The Suns made the announcement Saturday, a night after they beat the Mavericks 114-113 for their seventh straight victory and eighth in nine games this season. Durant scored 26 points in the victory. He’ll be re-evaluated in two weeks.

The 36-year-old 14-time All-Star was off to an MVP-caliber start this season through nine games, averaging 27.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

The Suns played the Kings on Sunday night but the game ended too late for this edition.

Tennis: Tennis Channel took analyst Jon Wertheim off the air “indefinitely” after Wimbledon champ Barbora Krejcikova called him out on social media for what she called “coverage that focused on my appearance rather than my performance.” Wertheim posted an apology, acknowledging his “deeply regrettable comments off-air” that “inadvertently made it to live air.” Krejcikova played last week in the WTA Finals, which were shown on Tennis Channel.
