On Jan. 17, the Nets announced Durant's injury, and the results of the KNEE MRI test showed that Durant suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and would be absent for a while. Soon Mingji revealed that internal optimism believes that Durant will come back after 4-6 weeks of rehabilitation. That said, Durant's recovery from injury will take at least 4-6 weeks, during which time he will not qualify for the game.
Durant's long-term absence will also trigger a chain reaction, in addition to the impact on the Nets, NBA All-Stars will also be impacted, because the 2022 NBA All-Star Game will be held on February 20, 2022 local time, only a month, and Durant's injury will almost certainly make him absent, so where does the Eastern Conference vote king belong? Who can fish and profit, etc., there are more points to watch.
Some time ago, the NBA released the results of the second round of voting, showing that Durant won the vote king in the East with 4,088,334 votes, but now Durant is likely to be unable to play and miss the All-Star Game. Then the first to profit must be the alphabet brother, his previous two vote results, are second, the current number of votes is 3.8 million 8458 votes, for DeRozan and Embiid and others the lead is "broken" level. So if Durant doesn't get the All-Star, then the vote king in the East is most likely a letter brother.
At the same time, Durant is in the East frontcourt in the All-Star position, if he is absent, then it will also give others the opportunity to impact the All-Star regular game, of which Butler, who has always been a bit "out of place", has a chance. In the second round of voting results, Butler is no. 4 in the Eastern Conference frontcourt, behind the first 130,000 votes, if Durant is absent, coupled with butler's fans' late efforts, he is likely to rush to the gold All-Star.
In addition to opponents, Durant's teammates, Harden and Irving and others, not surprisingly their next All-Star vote will definitely soar, after all, the original Nets fans and Durant fans most supported by the people have been injured, and the next natural is to see more Nets players appear on All-Star Weekend, so the Nets players will also have more votes to increase.
I also hope that Durant can have good luck and strive for a speedy recovery, and it is indeed a pity to be hit and injured by teammate Brown, of course, I hope that in the future he can return with full blood and lead the Nets to achieve good results.
