The bottom line is this. Kevin Durant, one of the most transcendent players in league history —and the best story of the season with his spectacular return-to-play — was embarrassed by the NBA Friday night. Even though he tested positive for coronavirus nearly a year ago and tested negative three times Friday, he was jerked around in front of an international audience through no fault of his own and now may have to sit several games because of what can kindly be called the league’s confusing, health and safety protocols.
And, oh yeah, the Nets lost to the Raptors.
