Brooklyn Nets’ Kevin Durant (forward, 208cm, 109kg) is not coming back right away.
According to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnalowski, Durant will not be able to participate in the 2023 All-Star Game to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on the 20th (hereinafter Korean time).
Durant is out of the line with a right knee injury. He was sidelined for a month with a sprained medial collateral ligament and was due to be re-examined earlier this month. He is said to have started light training. However, he ended up not returning before the All-Star Game.
It is possible to travel after the All-Star Game. Brooklyn manager Jack Byrne also confirmed that Durant’s return has not yet been scheduled. As Durant missed most of the games this month, it was not easy for Brooklyn to maintain power immediately, let alone rank. While he was gone, Brooklyn only added five wins in 13 games. Brooklyn is currently 32-21 and is pushed to 5th place in the Eastern Conference. 온라인바카라
After trading Kyrie Irving (Dallas), an all-star guard, he could not avoid weakening his power. He has room for additional trades. However, it is not only difficult to add power unless a deal is pursued right away, but the key is whether it can add all-star power. Above all, it is important to keep the line in order even in Durant’s absence.
He appeared in 39 games before the injury. He recorded 29.7 points (.559 .376 .934), 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 36 minutes per game. Following his last season, he averaged more than 29 points, as well as a number of rebounds and assists. He, and no one else, suffered a major loss in Brooklyn’s power when he was sidelined with an injury. In addition, the Irving trade was added, and the composition was greatly weakened.
Durant was selected as an All-Star again this time without fail. He was selected as the starting player, but was unable to play due to injury. Since he’s gone, one of the recently selected shortlists will be the starting lineup in Durant’s place. Also, one of the players who didn’t make the All-Star because he can’t play is expected to join as a substitute.
