“No reason to rush KD back before the All-Star break… Nets first game back after the break is Feb. 24 That would give Durant six full weeks,” NBA podcast host Tommy Breer said in a tweet
“last time KD was out this long (but longer), Nets lost 11 straight games, Dropped from 1 seed to 10, James Harden demanded a trade, James Harden was traded,” Nets fan account Netszn pointed out on Twitter
“I’m looking at this as he will be out January, back at the beginning of February. So a little over 3 weeks,” the Brooklyn Netcast said in a tweet
