Nash: There will be an opportunity to give Durant a break, but not like last season

In an interview, Nets coach Steve Nash talked about planning for the team's forward Kevin Durant's playing time.

"I think we're more at ease now to let Kevin play back-to-back games. It's been a long time since that surgery, and since his comeback, he's proven he can handle it. Am I trying to give him some rest to protect him? Of course. But it won't be as stereotyped as it was last season. ”

'Of course we want to look for opportunities to protect our core players, but at the moment the signs are good and hopefully we can create an environment where everyone feels confident throughout the season.
