On January 27, Beijing time, the all-star fan vote is still in full swing, in the first two rounds of voting, Durant and James led the east and west respectively, but Durant is now suffering from injuries, whether he can play the All-Star needs to put a question mark.
According to today's report from well-known journalist Chris Haynes, according to Durant's current recovery schedule, it is expected that he will need to make a comeback after All-Star Weekend, which will also mean that Durant will not participate in the All-Star game. This is also the third consecutive year that Durant will miss the All-Star, and the previous two years Durant was absent due to injury. The last time he played an All-Star was in 2019, the year he was elected All-Star MVP!
Durant was injured in this month's game against the Pelicans on the 16th of this month, when he was crushed on his leg by teammate Brown after falling to the ground, and was eventually diagnosed with a medial collateral ligament strain. At that time, the reporter reported that the truce was 4-6 weeks. That year, even if Durant missed this season's All-Star Game, he could serve as the east captain and select people, and now he is slightly ahead of the alphabet brother.
Speaking about Durant's injury, Nets coach Nash said in an interview that Durant will be re-evaluated next week. As for whether the All-Star can play, let's wait and see.
So far this season, Durant has played in 36 games for the Nets, averaging 36.4 minutes per game, earning a statistic of 29.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, shooting 52 percent from the field, and in his absence, the team's record is only 5 wins and 6 losses.
In the end, it is still expected that Durant can recover as soon as possible, if he misses too many games due to injury, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete for MVP, scoring king, best team and other honors.
