MIAMI -- Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant injured his right knee in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat and has been ruled out.
The injury occurred with 1:05 left in the third quarter as Heat swingman Jimmy Butler went to the rim and got his shot blocked by Nets big man Ben Simmons. Simmons fell back into Durant's knee and Durant stayed on the ground for a few moments but stayed in the game.
Durant kept rubbing at his knee up and down the floor and had to be taken out when the Nets took a timeout about 30 seconds later.
