The day is almost here. The NBA will make its return on July 31. Every team invited back has had its fair share of obstacles during the hiatus, but the Brooklyn Nets have had to monitor Kevin Durant‘s health with an eye towards the future amongst all the other concerns.
According to Anthony Puccio of NetsDaily, the decision has been made — Durant will not make his debut for his new team just yet and will sit out the remainder of the season.
After months of backtracking due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NBA board of governors approved a return-to-play format on June 4 that would bring 22 teams to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando at the end of July.
