At present, the league has announced the 2022 All-Star starting lineup, and for the Nets, Kevin Durant was re-elected as the East All-Star captain, but due to the injury problem of MCL sprains, Durant may not be able to play in the All-Star Weekend game.
It should be noted that this is also the second consecutive year that Durant has been elected as the captain of the Eastern Conference All-Star after joining the Nets, and it is also the 12th time that Durant has been selected as an All-Star in his career. Before the injury, Durant averaged 36.5 minutes per game and had 29.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
The Nets' official Twitter also sent multiple tweets on social media announcing Durant's election as The East All-Star Captain:
Nets coach Steve Nash has previously said Durant will be re-evaluated next week, but Nash did not respond to whether Durant missed the All-Star Game.
On the other hand, according to US media reports, the Nets have put Paul Millsap on the shelves and hope to return a more favorable return for the team, of which two teams worth paying attention to are the Warriors and Bulls:
"The Nets are looking for a home for Paul Millsap that will give Millsap more playing time and some form of reward for the Nets, and Millsap had important conversations with teams like the Warriors and Bulls before reaching an agreement with the Nets this offseason."
Whether the Nets will be able to move forward with millsap before the trade deadline is unknown, but for the Nets, it is undoubtedly the best situation if the team can make a move before the trade deadline and give them better competitiveness.
