Nash: Nets hopeful Kevin Durant to return Thursday or Sunday, updates on Ben Simmons and Joe Harris

The Nets head coach, Steve Nash, has ruled Kevin Durant out for Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors. The team is hopeful Durant will return for the Nets either Thursday, March 3 against the Miami Heat or on Sunday, March 6 against the Celtics in Boston.

“Kevin’s getting close. We’re hopeful that he can play this week,” Nash said. “He won’t play tonight or tomorrow but we’re hopeful it would be Thursday or Sunday. Kevin is getting closer which is exciting.”

Ben Simmons is a different story. He’s not going to make his Nets debut in the coming games, said the head coach.
