Woj: Kevin Durant Is 'Not Coming Back To The Nets This Year'

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Sun May 10, 2020 4:41 pm

Adrian Wojnarowski reiterated that Kevin Durant will not return to the Brooklyn Nets this year even with the season delayed.

“Guys, Kevin Durant’s not coming back to the Nets this year, that’s not happening, they’re not playing him," said Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod.

Rich Kleiman, Durant's business partner, echoed those thoughts in an interview with Frank Isola and Wes Wilcox.

“From my standpoint, no. I think it’s unrealistic. That’s just my view on it. We haven’t gotten deep into the conversation about it because of how unrealistic it all seems to me. I figure that, if something changed, he would tell me," said Kleiman.

Sean Marks added last week that Durant will be 100% when he returns to the court.

Hes getting paid the same no matter what. No need to rush back. Especially with how much of a mess its going to be to get this season played out. We're not talking about MJ or Kobe here, we're talking about a guy that joined onto a 73 win team to win a championship.

He would be a moron to get back on the court this season. Wait until 2020-21 season and he can be close to 100% especially since the season most likely will have a delayed start that is benefiting him even more. No point to risk it. They aren’t even that good this year. Kyrie continues to get hurt. Call it a wash of a season and start to build next year

I hope Durant gets close to 100%, but history is not on his side.

How many different sources do we need to reiterate the same point?

Smart. He needs a solid camp to get his body into shape. If he returns, without all the usual time it takes to be ready for the season, it might cause him some serious issues

Yea I should have stated to get as close to 100% post rehab. I agree that who knows what KD will be like after having such a serious injury at his age as history does not show a good future after an injury like this. Maybe 1-2 years of top level play. Hopefully he bounces back like it never happened. If he has 3-4 seasons of play like his old self I think that’s a major win for him
