Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to be sidelined for approximately a month, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday.
The Nets announced Monday that Durant was diagnosed with an isolated MCL sprain of his right knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks.
Durant missed six weeks with a left MCL sprain beginning in January last season, but there's confidence that this is a less severe injury that won't sideline the MVP candidate more than four weeks, the sources told Wojnarowski.
Durant sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Nets' 102-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night.
