Touched during the victory against the Pelicans, Kevin Durant injured his knee. Obviously worrying for the future, and we have no good news. The verdict is in for the winger, who will miss a lot of games.
As the Nets took a rather easy win over the backs of the Pelicans, fans have been holding their breath since Kevin Durant’s injury. The latter was hurt after direct contact with a teammate (review here), enough to worry the staff. An MRI had to be done today to find out more, and it’s not glorious.
Long absence for Kevin Durant!
No, KD isn’t out for the season, but his injury is pretty serious. Sorry for the fans, we will still have to wait to see the Big 3 in Brooklyn: Shams Charania evokes a sprain, which will require a good period of rehabilitation.

Kevin Durant has been diagnosed with a medial collateral sprain in his left knee and will return to full fitness after a period of rehabilitation, according to the team.
No date revealed by the Nets, who wish to keep information in this file. Fortunately, Adrian Wojnarowski has been there, and indicates that the absence of Durant should last approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Everything will depend on the feelings of the player, but he will probably miss the All-Star Game and a lot of meetings.
There’s optimism within Nets that will be a four-to-six week rehab and return for Kevin Durant, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/xKYtu0l4VL

There’s optimism among the Nets that Kevin Durant’s rehab will last about 4-6 weeks.
A good month of absence for Kevin Durant, hit in the knee on a harmless action. Bad news for Brooklyn, with Kyrie Irving already on half-time. We hope that James Harden is warned, he will have work to keep his team afloat.
