Brooklyn's Kevin Durant (health protocols) unlikely to play in Saturday's clash with 76ers
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (health protocols) is unlikely to travel with the team to Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
After a roller-coaster of a Friday night that saw Durant removed from the starting lineup, enter the game late in the first after being cleared to play, and then ruled out at the league's direction in the second half, he is not expected to be available for Saturday's game against the 76ers. This situation remains uncertain, so stay tuned. If Durant is ruled out, Bruce Brown could remain in the starting lineup.
If Durant is available for Saturday's contest, our models expect him to play 33.5 minutes against the 76ers.
