NBA fans received terrible news over the holiday weekend. Kevin Durant suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee that will keep him sidelined for a minimum of four-to-six weeks, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Durant, with averages of 29.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists, was in the midst of yet another NBA MVP campaign (+1000 at Tipico Sportsbook), leading the Nets to a top-2 seed out East (at the time of his injury).
The most recent knee ailment is the latest bump in the road in Brooklyn’s quest to win an NBA championship. After finally getting Kyrie Irving back in the mix, another core member is now missing from the Nets’ lineup.
