NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant said he was "shocked" when he learned that Steve Nash was out as head coach, a decision that was announced earlier Tuesday by the organization as mutual.

"You're always shocked when a move like this happens," Durant said after a 108-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. "But it's normal in the NBA. It's about getting ready for the game tonight. It's a quick turn always in the league, especially during the season. You've got practice, games coming up, so you can't think too much about it.
