Kevin Durant, a forward, and Kyrie Irving, a point guard, will not be playing for the Nets in Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Due to Health & Safety Protocols, Durant was unable to participate in the game on Friday and was also ruled out on Saturday afternoon. However, Coach Steve Nash anticipates that Durant will be able to rejoin the team by the coming Friday.
Kevin Durant can return to the Nets this Friday, according to Steve Nash. Nash assumes this follows the seven-day contact tracing protocol. He also confirmed that Durant does not have Covid. Additionally, Kyrie Irving is currently day-to-day due to a sprained right index finger.
