Report: Kevin Durant will not return to Nets if NBA season resumes

If the NBA season continues, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant won’t be a part of it. The Nets are determined to let Durant rest until next year, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

While some fans believed the coronavirus postponement would give Durant more time to recover, perhaps making him ready for game action, the Nets don’t want to take that risk.

Durant, 31, is recovering from a torn Achilles. Durant suffered the injury in last year’s NBA finals. He signed with the Nets in the offseason, and was expected to miss the entire year rehabbing the injury.
