The Nets left their injured trio of Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons and T.J. Warren home, not having them travel for Wednesday’s 139-96 loss to the Celtics.
But they claim Simmons and Warren are trending towards a return Saturday at home against the Wizards. Durant’s knee should get reevaluated shortly thereafter, with continued sentiment he’ll be back sooner rather than later.“Yeah, it’s just the next day. They just weren’t ready yet. So the best thing was to leave them at home, they can get more treatment, and then remain hopeful for Saturday versus Washington. So that’s still part of the plan, hopefully.
Kevin Durant , who was in attendance for the Nets’ win over the Lakers, did not travel with the team to Boston during their 139-96 loss to the Celtics.“No, they’re just definitely progressing towards the right direction of getting back on the floor,” Vaughn said. “We just weren’t there yet to put them back out there.”Durant suffered a right MCL sprain on Jan. 8 in Miami. On Tuesday Jan. 23, the Nets said the star forward would be evaluated again in two weeks.
“I spoke with Kevin Durant’s business partner and manager, Rich Kleiman, tonight and he tells me KD remains hopeful that he can return and play on All-Star Weekend,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Countdown. “He certainly wants to be a part of All-Star: That’s February 19th. He likes the way his rehab is going, how he looks on the court, and most importantly, how he feels.
The Nets gave up 26 3-pointers to the Celtics, the second-most allowed in an NBA game this season. The Knicks yielded 27 to Boston on Nov. 5.
