It’s been six long weeks for Kevin Durant, his teammates and Nets fans since he went down on January 15 with a sprained MCL. Of those 21 games the Nets were without KD, Brooklyn won only five and went through an 11-game losing streak.
On Thursday, KD sat down with reporters and expressed optimism that with him back on the court, things would turn around. The reality of course is that his team is in the eighth seed and a near certainty for the play-in tournament next month where the seventh through 10th seeds will battle for the final two seeds in the East.
