Nets’ Kevin Durant (MCL) wants to return before All-Star break in ‘ideal situation’

Nets’ star Kevin Durant says he’ll provide a clear return date from his injury in a week.

Durant, who is out with an MCL sprain in his right knee, sat down with Eddie Gonzalez for an episode of Boardroom’s ‘The ETC’s’ podcast and said he’d give a “clearer update” on his injury return timeline when he records the next episode of the weekly podcast.

Durant, who has missed his 10th straight game with an MCL sprain, said he hopes to return a few games before the Feb. 19 NBA All-Star Game. Durant was named an All-Star starter alongside his teammate Kyrie Irving. He led the Eastern Conference in fan votes before his injury, and Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo replaced him as the conference’s All-Star captain.
