Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant traded in dunks for virtual misses during his downtime, and the NBA world took notice. While recovering from a hamstring injury, Durant vented on social media about his struggles shooting in NBA 2K24, opening a door for playful jabs from fans.

His post, "Missin shots in the rec on 2k slightly disrupts the mood...its slight tho," sparked a flurry of comedic commentary. Fans suggested KD borrow Steph Curry's in-game build, hinting his usual choice might not be as effective. One Twitter user, @JrueMusee, playfully blamed Durant's woes on a "Tatum build" not delivering the desired results.

While some saw humor in the situation, others offered serious advice. Recommendations for a "T-Mac push" build flooded the comments, aiming to turn KD's virtual fortunes around.

Meanwhile, the Suns proved they could shine without their star. Despite Devin Booker's off night, Bradley Beal stepped up with 21 points, leading the team to a dominant 109-88 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Jusuf Nurkic provided solid support with 18 points and 7 rebounds.

Rookie Scoot Henderson led the Blazers with 17 points, but the Suns' balanced attack proved too much to handle.

With Durant's status still "questionable" for the upcoming game against the LA Clippers, the NBA world awaits his return, both on the court and in the virtual world of 2K. One thing's for sure: if his shooting woes continue, the memes and jokes are likely to follow.
