Sudden chance Kevin Durant could return this season

LAS VEGAS — With Kevin Durant’s Achilles tendon the most-watched body part in sports, the Nets aren’t ruling out their newly acquired superstar for next season.

They didn’t guarantee Durant will play, but opted not to proactively put him on the shelf.

“He will be evaluated with the performance team and so forth,” said general manager Sean Marks. “A timeline will be given in due time, but as of now, we’re certainly not going to comment on when or if and make any sort of hypotheticals. It’s too early.”

When Dallas traded for Kristaps Porzingis, owner Mark Cuban immediately shut down any talk of the ex-Knick playing last season.
