MIAMI — The Nets won a game Sunday night, but may have lost something bigger.
Kevin Durant, smack in the middle of a season that was putting him in MVP contention, limped off the court in the third quarter of the Nets 102-101 win over the Miami Heat and did not return.
Durant appeared to have injured his knee with a little more than 1:05 left in the third quarter. Jimmy Butler went to the hole and had his shot blocked by Ben Simmons. He fell to the court and then rolled into the side of Durant’s knee, knocking Durant to the court.
