NEW YORK (AP) — With so much uncertainty around the NBA season, Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks is no longer ruling out Kevin Durant for the season.
Marks repeatedly had said he didn’t expect Durant to play this season while recovering from Achilles tendon surgery, but he acknowledged Wednesday that everything is unknown now that the season is suspended because of the new coronavirus.
Durant was injured in the 2019 NBA Finals, so he would have a year to recover if the league were to resume in June.
Even Kyrie Irving, who had shoulder surgery on March 3, might be available if play stretched into the summer.
