Kevin Durant wouldn't have played in NBA restart even if fully healthy

Kevin Durant won't play during the NBA season restart in Orlando. That news is out there.

The Brooklyn Nets star still is 12 months removed from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals as a member of the Warriors.

But what if Durant had been fully healthy heading into bubble at Walt Disney World? Would he feel comfortable going down to Florida and playing while the coronavirus pandemic is raging in the state?

“I feel, me right now, I probably wouldn’t have played because the unknown going into that situation looks crazy right now, seeing so many new cases," Durant told Dawg Talk podcast hosts Austin Freeman and Chris Wright (H/T New York Post).
