Durant, who missed last season while recovering from a torn Achilles injury, has played in 23 games so far this season. The Nets have dealt with injuries and absences to both Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Brooklyn is viewed by most as the clear-cut favorite in the Eastern Conference, though they need everyone to get healthy in time for the playoffs.
The Nets are currently 38-18 on the season and seem primed for a deep run in the postseason. Injuries are probably the only thing that could derail that.
