Beijing time on March 3 news, not long ago the Brooklyn Nets officially disclosed that Kevin Durant will return tomorrow during the team's game against the Miami Heat, and he is no longer in the team's latest injury list.
The Nets also posted a poster of Durant on their social blog with "The return."
Last week, Nets coach Steve Nash mentioned that Durant would return this week, but he did not give an accurate time point at the time, but only said a latest comeback time. Now to calculate, Durant's comeback tomorrow is still three days earlier than the previous estimate, and from another perspective, this also shows that durant's recent recovery speed and quality should exceed expectations.
This season, Durant has played in 36 games, the Nets have a record of 24 wins and 22 losses, a winning percentage of 66.7%, if Durant is not injured, the Nets will maintain the winning rate until now, they are properly the existence of the First in the East (the Miami Heat, the first in the East, currently have a 66.1% win rate).
It's just that competitive sports don't have ifs, and since Durant was injured in mid-January, the Nets have a record of 5 wins and 16 losses during this period. If you zoom in on the time period to the end of the season, the Nets have a record of 8 wins and 19 losses when Durant is not on the court. In the absence of the game, the strength of the Nets team can be described as strong and weak.
The Nets currently have a record of 32 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the East, 4.5 wins away from sixth-place Boston Celtics, and they will have to rush to sixth or higher in the East to secure a playoff spot.
