Brooklyn Nets lose Kevin Durant to left knee sprain in second quarter vs. New Orleans Pelicans

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant injured his left knee during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The team called it a left knee sprain, and it occurred with just under six minutes left in the quarter as Pelicans guard Herb Jones drove to the basket, he collided with Nets guard Bruce Brown who fell backwards into Durant, who was standing behind the play. Durant will undergo an MRI on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Brooklyn's leading scorer tried to stay in the game for a few moments, walking around, trying to loosen the knee up, but he walked straight over to the bench and checked himself out shortly thereafter.
