Nick Friedell: KD just spoke for the first time in a few weeks — he sounds confident he’ll be back soon after the All-Star break but said he doesn’t want to come back at just “80 percent.” He is improving all the time though.

KD also said he didn’t know Harden was unhappy until he started seeing the reports popping up over the last week. He said he thought everything was solid with Harden — but things started to deteriorate when he got injured and wasn’t around the team. – 7:01 PM

KD on what could have been with the big three: “I’m proud of the brand of basketball we played.” Isn’t one to dwell. – 6:51 PM

Kevin Durant said by the time he found out James Harden was unhappy, it was already late in the process. At that point, it was unlikely to be salvaged. #Nets – 6:49 PM

Steve Nash said LaMarcus Aldridge is “days away not weeks away,” from returning from his ankle sprain. Kevin Durant is back doing court work but still has hurdles to clear before returning, too. – 11:55 AM
