The Brooklyn Nets are breathing a sigh of relief tonight (Sunday) after realizing that team star Kevin Durant is not suffering from a torn ligament and is expected to return to the floor in 4-6 weeks.
The All-Star, who was injured tonight (Saturday through Sunday) in a 105-120 victory over New Orleans, is suffering from a sprained knee, and in any case is expected to be eligible for the final stages of the regular season.
The Hunts' official statement read: "Kevin Durant underwent an MRI this morning and was diagnosed with a left knee sprain. Kevin will return to the pitches at his peak after a period of rehabilitation, and updates regarding the schedule will be given in the future."
