The Nets have limped out of the gate to start the 2021-22 season, dropping to 2–3 on the season following Wednesday's loss to the Heat. As Brooklyn struggles to find its footing, questions regarding a certain point guard are beginning to reemerge.
Kevin Durant was asked postgame what was missing from the Nets's offense compared to last season. After a brief pause, Durant addressed the elephant in Brooklyn's locker room.
"I know what you want me to say," Durant said with a laugh. "Yeah, we do miss Kyrie. He's a part of our team."
Durant said he isn't worried about the Nets offense quite yet.
