Nets star Kevin Durant has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and will miss Saturday's game against Orlando, the team announced.
Amid a flurry of cases for the Nets, Durant is now the eighth Brooklyn player added to the list, which includes James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre' Bembry, Bruce Brown, Jevon Carter, James Johnson and Paul Millsap.
On Friday, the Nets announced that All-Star guard Kyrie Irving would be re-joining the team "for games and practices in which he is eligible to participate," the team said in a statement. The decision to add Irving, who is unvaccinated, was made due in part to the growing list of Nets players in the health and safety protocols.
