Kevin Durant is available to play and the timing of his return couldn’t be better for the Brooklyn Nets. That’s right, the Nets are getting one of their Big 3 back on the court.
The team announced Durant is available to play Wednesday night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans at Barclays Center. Durant has not played since Feb. 13 because of a strained left hamstring.
While the Nets, however, are getting one star player back, they’ll be without another for awhile. The team also announced James Harden will be revaluated in 10 days after an MRI revealed a strained right hamstring.
Harden originally sustained the injury on March 31 against the Houston Rockets but appeared to reaggravate the hamstring in his return against the New York Knicks on Monday. He lasted just four minutes before having to exit the contest.
The Nets have only had their star trio of Durant, Harden and Kyrie Irving in the same lineup for a handful of games this season. In their most recent stretch, it’s been Irving shouldering the load for the Nets.
While fans hold their collective breath on the status of Harden, with the playoffs quickly approaching, the return of Durant is sure to have all eyes on Brooklyn Wednesday night, when the Nets take the court.
