Phoenix Suns vs. Oklahoma City Thunder ticket prices plummet after Kevin Durant news

It was thought that Kevin Durant could make his Phoenix Suns debut on Friday at Footprint Center in Phoenix when the Suns took on the Oklahoma City Thunder in their first game after the NBA All-Star break.

That thought saw prices for the game rising as people anticipated catching the NBA star in action for the first time in a Phoenix Suns jersey.

But those prices have come way down after it was reported Wednesday that Durant's debut with the Suns could be delayed.

Ticket prices for the contest, scheduled for 8 p.m. MST and set to air on ESPN and Bally Sports Arizona, have plummeted in the wake of the news.

Here's what it will cost for Phoenix Suns tickets for the Oklahoma City Thunder game on Friday as of Thursday morning, compared to what tickets on the NBA resale market for the game were going for earlier this week.
