Durant went through a second high-intensity workout Saturday morning in Milwaukee and if he comes out of that healthy, could only need one more before he is cleared to return from his sprained left MCL — though coach Steve Nash said Durant is unlikely to return during a back-to-back Monday and Tuesday against the Raptors.. “We’ll see. I expect in the next week he’ll be back for sure. But it could be quick, it could be the whole week barring setbacks.
Nash described the high-intensity workouts as playing either half-court or full-court games with the Nets’ “stay-ready” group. It remains to be seen when Durant will get the chance to go through a third high-intensity workout — possibly Monday morning in Brooklyn — but the Nets have a home-and-home Monday and Tuesday against the Raptors before hosting the Heat on Thursday.Before sustaining the knee injury, Durant was putting together an MVP-caliber season, averaging 29.3 points, 7.
“I think with Kevin, he’s been a great healer throughout his career,” Nash said. “The No. 1 thing is to get him back healthy, feeling secure in his health and his body so he can move and be free when he’s back. Obviously he adds a ton to our team on both ends of the floor. He leads the league in scoring, one of the greatest scorers of all time.
“But we also know he helps us defensively and gives us more size and length. He’s a big miss for us and whenever he gets back he’ll definitely impact our team on both ends of the floor.”
