On January 16, Beijing time, when the Nets and Pelicans game reached 5 minutes and 40 seconds in the second quarter, an unfortunate scene came, and Durant left the field with a left knee injury, and this injury is very similar to the injury four years ago.
Durant left the court injured
In the Pelicans counterattack, Brown made a head-on contact with Jones when he was fully defending, and the result was that he was directly pushed down because he was retreating, and the next scene was heart-wrenching.
Brown's right hand pressed against Durant's left knee
Brown had completely lost his balance at the moment he fell to the ground, and when his right hand tried to hit the ground, unfortunately it hit Durant's left knee directly, notice that when we freeze the frame, Durant's knee looks like this:
Brown's entire body pressed against Durant's left knee
Brown's 92-kilogram weight, as well as inertia, was pressed onto Durant's left knee, causing a slight inverse joint bend.
Durant has since resumed trying to stay on the court and can then return directly to the dressing room.
The severity of Durant's injury is unknown, but judging from the footage at the time, it is very similar to a scene five years ago.
Durant was mistakenly injured by Pachuria instantly
Five years ago, against the Wizards, when Durant assisted in the left waist defense, Gottate and Pachulia fell under the basket, and as a result, Gottate threw Pachulia down, unfortunately, the fallen Pachulia's entire body directly hit Durant's left knee, and then retreated.
And today's scene is very similar to the major injury four years ago, except that Durant was 29 years old at that time, and his body recovered quickly; and now he is 33 years old...
Finally, pray for Durant, hoping that there will be no major trouble and a speedy return.
