Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant suffered a left thigh contusion in the first quarter against the Miami Heat on Sunday and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Durant, who started for Brooklyn, appeared to get tangled with Miami's Trevor Ariza when he drove toward the basket for a layup. He left the game and was examined by a trainer before heading back to the team's locker room.
Durant, 32, was playing in his fifth game since returning earlier this month from a hamstring injury that sidelined him nearly two months.
