NEW YORK — Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said he received a “good update from the doctor” as it pertains to the MCL sprain that has kept star forward Kevin Durant off the floor for a month.
Vaughn, however, declined to go into the specifics of Durant’s injury progress, and shortly after he addressed reporters ahead of tipoff against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, both ESPN and Bleacher Report announced Durant isn’t expected to return to the lineup until after the All-Star break.
“He’ll continue to progress his on-court activities. So all was good, really good report,” Vaughn said. When asked for insight into what Durant is able to do on the court, Vaughn added: “I can say he has not done contact yet. But he’s been on the court, but has not done contact.”
