On January 17, Beijing time, the Nets superstar Kevin Durant's MRI results came out, and the Nets officially announced that Durant's injury was diagnosed as a sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the left knee, and after a period of treatment, he is expected to recover to the best state; the famous Wonarowski followed up with the report, and the Nets are optimistic that Durant can recover and come back after 4-6 weeks of treatment.
In the second quarter of the Nets and Pelicans game, Durant was hit by the fallen Brown Jr. and injured his left knee, when Durant walked to the bench in pain, signaling Nash to call a timeout, after which Durant limped out and returned to the locker room; Durant's injury was initially confirmed to be a left knee sprain, and he withdrew from the game early due to injury.
At halftime, Harden had a conversation with Durant, durant said that someone hit his knee; harden continued to lead the team in the second half, and finally the Nets won 120-105 to the Pelicans, but Durant had already left the stadium early and walked limping; after the game, Harden, Thomas and others were very worried and called to greet Durant.
Now that Durant's test results have come out to avoid serious injuries from cruciate ligament tears, such an injury is already a blessing in misfortune, and I hope that Durant will recover as soon as possible, and it is expected that he will recover after 4-6 weeks.
