According to Reports and media, Kevin Durant is unlikely to be able to return during this season. Lewis told reporters that Brooklyn's captain had not eliminated any return during Durant's season, suggesting that Durant could step down the court at this season's show.

Durant was seriously injured in Game 5 of NBA finals last season. Durant, who was injured during the last two rounds of the playoffs with Houston Rockets, missed the third round and left the final. He worries back and treads the court five times, but in the process of trying to break through, he has fallen alone and has not come back since.


The diagnosis revealed Achilles tendon rupture injury. The injury will return will take approximately 1 year. In the last playoffs, he has returned to the boomerang, which is the result of a larger injury that has resulted in some early return. He Will be unable to play in the coming 2019-2020 season. However, with the recent rapid recovery, it is estimated that Durant's return theory has been oozing out of the country.

If Durant hits the court at this season's last minute, Brooklyn can emerge as a run-up candidate. This summer, Brooklyn were able to reliably reinforce their power by bringing Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, and Temple, starting with Durant. Despite the fact that Durant couldn't get over injury, the power was solid, but if Durant jumped from the playoffs, the story could not be the same.


However, it may be better to prepare for the future than to hurry it up even if the recovery is rather complete. Although Paul George ( Clippers) has come back to the early time since the shank fractured in the summer of 2014, when Achilles tendon considers as a different injury, he needs to spend enough time to return.

Durant's rehabilitation process is extremely important, Durant wants to come back when he considers himself healthy and appropriate.


Durant scored 26 points (.521, .353, and .885), 6.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, and 1.1 blocks after 78 games in the past season. This season, he was selected as the All-Star, and he received the glory of being the All-Star for 10 years in a row. Last season, he won the MVP award for All-Star Game and was selected for the All-NBA Second Team.

Brooklyn, meanwhile, has invested $ 100 million and $ 64 million in four years in the contract period, bringing Durant. Despite the inability to play in the next season, the popularity of him on the market was as high as ever. Durant's transfer was added to the contract with D'angelo Russell (Golden State) and was finally completed with Sign & Trade.
