Durant was injured early in the first quarter of the Nets’ game against the Miami Heat last weekend. Durant was driving to the basket when he collided with Trevor Ariza.
Durant’s return on the Nets having a well-rounded, healthy roster. Tyler Johnson, who has been out since early April with knee pain, is also listed as likely to return.
Still, Brooklyn remains with James Harden, who experienced a hamstring rehab setback last week and is now out indefinitely. The team is also missing Nic Claxton, who had emerged as a key part of the Nets’ big-man rotation. Claxton has missed three games in the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Durant averages 27.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.
