Sources: Kevin Durant to skip All-Star Game, rehab injury as Nets eye playoffs

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is expected to miss his second straight All-Star Game as he recovers from an MCL sprain, league sources told Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes as he relayed on TNT Tuesday night.

Durant is out with an MCL sprain in his left knee after sustaining the injury Jan. 15. Durant was injured after teammate Bruce Brown fell backward into him after colliding with New Orleans Pelicans center Herbert Jones. Durant tried to continue, but eventually was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

The Nets announced the injury, but did not give a timetable for his return.
