There’s good news and bad news for the Brooklyn Nets. Let’s start with the good news — Kevin Durant.
Nets star Kevin Durant is expected to return Thursday vs. Miami. He was not listed on injury report today.

The lynchpin of this entire organization, the Nets have missed him for the last month and a half. Brooklyn is a paltry 5-16 since Durant went down with a knee injury in mid-January.
A healthy Durant will mask two of the major issues that have been plaguing these Nets — a lack of scoring punch at Barclays Center and overworked role players.
