Injured

Kevin Durant OUT for ASG!

Kevin Durant OUT for ASG! Due to a left hamstring issue, KD will be sitting out this year’s All-Star Game. He suffered the injury this past month and has been trying to make his way back onto the court with James Harden, Kyrie, and the Nets.

Durant was suppose to be back with a game remaining before their break, however a MRI overturned that ruling and is now remaining out. That did not sit well for both sides, especially for Durant.

After March 7th, which is the All-Star Game, will be when he is reevaluated. So he will be missing another week or two. He has been battling with contact tracing and now with hamstring issues since making his return to the Bay Area.

Here is what Nash has to say about KD and how he feels about this:

“He’s disappointed, clearly,” Nash said. “He got himself through one of the most devastating injuries in basketball and playing at an All-Star level or even MVP level, and for it to kind of get shut down for a little while is very disappointing for him. Having said that, it could always be worse. So we’ll continue to monitor him and he’s going to be back this season, and we’ll all be grateful when that time comes, but not until he’s ready.”

Here is how Steve Nash, their head coach, feels about not having KD:

“Well, it sucks to not have Kevin,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “He’s an amazing, amazing basketball player. And, anytime you have the Lamborghini in the garage, it’s meant to be on the road. So, we’re all disappointed.”
