Kevin Durant will likely make his return to the court for the Nets on Thursday, according Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Durant was in the MVP mix before going down on Jan. 15 during the team’s win over the Pelicans. He suffered a sprained MCL, which cost him 21 games. The team went 5–16 in his absence, and made a major shakeup, dealing James Harden to the 76ers for Ben Simmons and others in return.
The news comes at the perfect time for Brooklyn, which has fallen to 32–31 and sits at eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
