In case you missed it, Kevin Durant is missing his third straight game with a left thigh contusion. On the season, he’s played in just 24 of Brooklyn’s 59 total games — just 40 percent of the season. All signs point to a Durant return being “close,” though that may not necessarily mean imminent.
“I think he’s close, but I don’t think he’s there,” said Nash about KD return. “We’ll see tomorrow and Sunday if that’s a possibility. But it may not. It may bleed back into this road trip.”
According to Nash, Durant just isn’t 100 percent, nor close to that.
