There is optimism around the Brooklyn Nets organization that superstar Kevin Durant may return ahead of the All-Star break after his MCL sprain was re-evaluated Monday.
Dr. Riley Williams III of the Hospital for Special Surgery is very pleased with Durant’s recovery and cleared the Nets superstar to begin running and on-court basketball activities this week, according to the team.
Durant sustained the injury last Jan. 8 during the third quarter of Brooklyn’s102-101 win over in Miami when Jimmy Butler awkwardly landed on his knee after Ben Simmons swatted the Heat star’s shot.
