Kevin Durant will not play with the Nets when the NBA resumes its 2019–20 season in Orlando next month.
In an interview with The Undefeated, Durant said he's not physically ready to return to competition after tearing his Achilles almost a year ago.
"My season is over. I don't plan on playing at all. We decided last summer when it first happened that I was just going to wait until the following season. I had no plans of playing at all this season," he said.
"It's just best for me to wait. I don't think I'm ready to play that type of intensity right now in the next month.
