Brooklyn Nets' Kevin Durant playing through shoulder issue amid hot start to season

Kevin Durant's MVP-like start to the season continued Sunday with 33 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder despite a sore right shoulder.

After helping the Brooklyn Nets beat the Thunder 120-96, Durant acknowledged that he is getting treatment on his shooting shoulder. He could be seen at one point moving and feeling his shoulder.

"It's solid," Durant told reporters after the win when asked about his shoulder. "A little sore here and there, but I played, didn't get in the way too much. Keep getting treatment and take it a day at a time.
