Kevin Durant suffered a left thigh contusion in the first half against the Heat on Sunday and will not return, the Nets said. This is just the latest injury Durant, and the Nets, have had to deal with this season.
Durant was driving to the basket when he made contact with Heat forward Trevor Ariza. Durant was able to walk off the court and back to the locker room before the team announced that their star player was done for the day.
No timetable for a return has been announced.
Durant has played in only 24 games this season while the Nets (38–18) sit as the No.
