Nets star Kevin Durant was forced out of Sunday’s game against the Heat with a knee injury and didn’t return.
Any injury to Durant is Brooklyn’s biggest worry. Now the Nets will have to wait for Monday’s examination and presumptive MRI exam to see if it’s just a bad dream or an outright nightmare.
The injury occurred when Ben Simmons blocked Jimmy Butler’s shot with 1:05 left in the third quarter, and the Miami wing fell back awkwardly into Durant’s knee.USA TODAY Sports Durant tried to stay on the floor, and gut through the pain. But he couldn’t move to corral a high pass from Seth Curry on the next possession, and looked to be massaging his knee on defense on the ensuing trip back downcourt.
