Kevin Durant left the court in the Nets’ match against the Miami Heat with a knee injury and was diagnosed with a sprain in his right knee
the star of brooklyn nets, Kevin Durant, scared the fans of the New York franchise in the third quarter of the match against miami heatlast Sunday, 08. The winger was ready to take a rebound, when Jimmy Butler, fell on his leg, making the athlete ask to be removed from the court at the same time, going straight to the locker room. In examinations performed, a right knee sprain was found.
The Nets announced that Durant’s minimum recovery period will be two weeks, having already scheduled a reassessment for the athlete after the treatment break. The loss for the Brooklyn team is big, as KD has the best averages on the team, with 29.7 points, 5.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game.
Kevin’s replacement in the starting lineup is still an open question, but the dispute should be between Seth Curry and TJ Warrenwho came off the bench in the last game and had a good performance, managing to help lead the Nets towards a tight victory by 102 to 101, playing away from home.
Now the responsibility of Kyrie Irving being the leader of the team is even greater, since the point guard is the only all-star on the team, but the great performance of the Brooklyn team in recent weeks, can make the fan more relaxed, mainly due to the evolution of players after the arrival of coach Jacque Vaughn, as Nic Claxton, Watanabe and Ben Simmons.
In January 2022, Durant was also absent from the Nets’ team for six weeks, due to a knee injury, however, on that occasion, the sprain occurred in his left leg, while this year’s was in the right. The nominee for the MVP you shouldn’t waste a lot of time off the courts, with an expected return within a month if it’s something more serious.
