Kevin Durant could return Thursday in the game against 76ers
Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash revealed that star forward Kevin Durant could return Thursday this week in the game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Durant is currently in the NBA’s COVID-19 protocol, in which he was placed on December 18. Thursday will be 10 days of his absence and if he manages to pass the coronavirus tests, he will be enabled to play against Joel Embiid and company.
Steve Nash said he’s hopeful Kevin Durant will be out of protocol by the time the #Nets return home.
