Wojnarowski: Kevin Durant (knee) out around 1 month for Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (MCL sprain) is expected to be sidelined for approximately a month, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

What It Means:

The Nets announced Monday that Durant was diagnosed with an isolated MCL sprain of his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Durant, who suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Miami Heat, also missed six weeks with a left MCL sprain beginning in January last season. Yuta Watanabe, Joe Harris, and Seth Curry are candidates to join the starting lineup while Durant is sidelined. There will also be more minutes available for T.J. Warren and Markieff Morris, as well as larger roles on offense for Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.

KD is leading the Nets with a 31.8% usage rate this season and averaging 29.7 points per game while shooting 55.9% from the floor. Kyrie is second on the Nets with a 29.1% usage rate.
