NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant injured his left knee during the second quarter of his team's 120-105 win Saturday over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The team called it a sprain, and it occurred with just under six minutes left in the quarter as Pelicans guard Herb Jones drove to the basket and collided with Nets guard Bruce Brown, who fell backward 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 attempted to stay in the game for a few moments, walking around, trying to loosen the knee up, but he headed over to the bench and checked himself out shortly thereafter.
