NEWS from Brooklyn Nets: Durant is back in the game after 52 days. Out of caution, Nash did not schedule Durant to start the game, as Durant’s injury is still a big concern. Durant has only played 18 games so far this season, averaging 29.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists, shooting 52.4% from the field and 43.4% from three, a very high effectiveness.
However, a bad NEWS came from Harden. MRI results came back with the extent of Harden’s right hamstring strain as a Grade 1 strain. Steve Nash, the head coach of NETS, revealed Harden’s injury in an interview with the media: “Harden had no major problems when he was examined by the first scan, but after receiving the second scan we found that the problem was more serious than the initial stage, and the extent of his hamstring strain was a Grade 1 strain.” Harden may miss the next regular season games, let us look forward to Harden can return healthy and give us great games.
