Nets star forward Kevin Durant is listed out Tuesday against the Jazz due to NBA’s coronavirus health and safety protocols, the team’s PR department tweets.
Durant’s faces a seven-day quarantine because of exposure to a positive COVID-19 case, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews report. That means Durant would also have to sit out three more games. He has continued to register antibodies and has tested negative in multiple recent tests, Wojnarowski adds.
No other player on the team was listed as out for the same reason.
Durant tested positive for the virus back in March, shortly after play was halted. He later stated to ESPN’s Marc Spears he didn’t experience symptoms.
“I didn’t have any symptoms so I am good,” he said this summer. “I couldn’t leave the house. … The unknown was definitely difficult to deal with. But other than that, I was great.”
The NBA is experiencing an uptick in cases without the protection of a bubble. The Bulls are dealing with the virus, as Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison have tested positive recently and two other Chicago players have simultaneously been held out of action.
Looks like he isn’t Mr. Perfect after all…
“Other than not being able to leave my house I was ready to go.”
Man that sucks!
KD has been a monster so far!
A monster on a 3-4 team. A very small monster.
it’s been 7 games lmao.
Yes, which is why I said 3-4. That equals 7
Well, technically it equals -1 lol
@Curtisrowe…
KD has been a monster, MVP numbers for sure, after his injury no one ever thought he would be this good, hence a monster!
Now about his team been 3-4 who cares, ain’t about teams, I was talking about KD. & he is as good even if his team is 0-7, 3-4 or 7-0 it doesn’t matter at all!
Man no one cares about teams, get it?
“No one cares about teams”
Oh, thanks for letting me know. I feel so silly.
No one cares about the teams? Then why even bother having a formal association? Why do any fans care if their teams win? I guess it’s all about players improving their stat line
Stone cold take on KDs return. Most were very hopeful and predicted a strong bounce back for him. The overwhelming minority of analysts were saying KD wouldn’t be able to play like himself again.
Nets are 3-4, Warriors are 3-3, maybe we should…
nah nevermind…
“Is Brooklyn the Best Team in the East?”
Is Brooklyn or Chicago the best 3-4 team in the east?
ha!
Good question. How many games will they win with Durant out for the next week? They’ll probably lose to Utah, Philly, and Memphis.
Maybe they will beat OKC after that, which isn’t very difficult.
If KD tests positive again, I hope that will extinguish all the arguments about “herd immunity” actually being a viable solution.
@ Little-Dunker-45
Come on man don’t hate on Durant nobody’s perfect
I don’t hate him. We both said he’s not perfect so really we agree with each other.
Register antibody
What does it mean?
Sullivan lay off the LSD lol
Lysillivan acid diethylamide?
Probably showing that his immune system has reacted to the presence of the virus. The same happens with exposure to the flu or cold virus. Interesting that he has had it already so if that confers immunity he should be ok.
Who’s the positive case ??
Nets get desperate they could go for Harden. Where’s LeVert in all this. Need some points.
da nets lost to da gallineri-rondo less hawks and then da wizards who only played avdijia for only 16 mins! even with KD and Kyrie and levert they still lose to those teams. lmao better get that DPE and use it on either waiters, jr smith, or napier cuz without dinwiddie they’re not going anywhere near a championship especially with a taurean prince that wasnt the same as he was in atlanta and a landry shamet whos been shooting bricks lately. and ofc refusing to play tyler johnson and bruce brown and dis leads to a ton of workload for kyrie even tho johnson is a solid shooter and playmaker and brown is an excellent perimeter defender.
levert trash when hes not suppose to bruh no dinwiddie and KD, they might as well plummet to 3-7 or something they might beat da grizs but jazz and philly? nah. good luck with starting jeff green or rodion kurus. really need those post moves and three point shooting.
remember we’re talking bout da warriors having one of da messiest offense and defense without klay and green and them getting demolished by da nets? lmao turns out warriors are gradually improving while da nets r plummeting down rapidly and losing one of their starters to a season ending injury and bench issues.
