Brooklyn Nets Star Kevin Durant ‘More Likely’ To Return By Monday Than Saturday via @forbes forbes.com/sites/adamzago…6:16 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
“Kevin [Durant’s] traditionally been an unbelievably quick and strong healer….but at the same time we don’t want to risk him for 2 or 3 games at this point, we want to make sure he feels confident on top of the performance team….”
-Steve Nash on not pushing KD’s return. – 6:12 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Steve Nash saying it’s possible Durant and Dragic play in the next three games but not making it sound as if it will be Saturday in Milwaukee. – 5:58 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Steve Nash says “I suppose it’s not out of the question” that Goran Dragic plays in Milwaukee, but says it’s less likely. Nash also says it’s not likely Kevin Durant plays in Milwaukee, either, but doesn’t rule it out. #Nets5:55 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Steve Nash says “it’s not out of the question” that Goran Dragic plays in Milwaukee on Saturday. Expects him to play in the next three games. Said it’s possible Durant plays Saturday, but expects him back in the next three games, too. – 5:55 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Steve Nash said Kevin Durant has already had at least one high intensity workout. Once he gets in a third, he’ll be cleared. #Nets5:55 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Steve Nash says Kevin Durant has had 1 high-intensity workout so far, and that the team will assess him after he works out tomorrow to determine when he’ll be ready to play. – 5:54 PM
Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria
KD, Ben Simmons, Kyrie and Dragic all out tonight for the Nets – 10:56 AM
Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Am I missing something with Brooklyn still a favorite to come out of the East?
– 23 games remaining
– 3 game in L column behind TOR (#7) and 2 in the L column behind BOS (#6)
– Next 6 G: BOS, @ MIL, TOR, @ TOR, MIA, @ BOS
TBD when we see Simmons, Durant and Irving (at home) – 10:03 AM

Adam Zagoria: “I think if he’s ready to play, he’s ready to play.” Steve Nash on Kevin Durant, who won’t play tonight -via Twitter @AdamZagoria / February 24, 2022
Alex Schiffer: Sean Marks seems to indicate that he doesn’t expect Kevin Durant or Ben Simmons to play “in the next three to four days.” Would put them both out through the Milwaukee game, but Marks adds they’ll see how their bodies respond after practice the next two days. -via Twitter @Alex__Schiffer / February 22, 2022
