On January 16, 2022, Beijing time, during the Nets' game against the Pelicans, you were knocked down by teammate Bruce Brown during a defense in the second quarter of the game, sprained his knee, and then left the court directly to return to the locker room. Although the Nets won this game easily, fans are very worried about Durant's injury and pray that he has not suffered too much injury!
In the early morning of January 17, 2022, Beijing time, Durant's injury report finally had results! The Nets officially announced that after undergoing an MRI examination, Durant was confirmed to have a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and Durant needed a period of rest and adjustment, and is expected to recover to his best condition!
The news was both unfortunate and fortunate for the Nets! Unfortunately, Durant's injury will lead to fewer opportunities for the Big Three to run into, and the team has recently had to go through a very difficult period. Fortunately, Durant's injury win is not particularly heavy, at least this season's return should be no problem, and it is very likely that it will not take too long to return to the game!
For the Nets, they have just recently been on the right track, Irving's return allows them to experience the feeling of the Big Three at the same time in the away game, and the three have not been together for too long in these two seasons, and it is a good opportunity to run in recently. But Durant's injury puts all the pressure on Harden, after all, Irving can only play on the road, harden will bear the double pressure of home and away!
Of course, if possible, Durant's injury may also make Irving change his mind, after all, there has been news that Irving may change his mind about vaccines and play at home. In any case, for the Nets, their previous record advantage this season is still good, and in the recent period without Durant, they still have a certain amount of capital but wait for Durant's return!
