NEW YORK – Kevin Durant used to worry about how he would play.There hasn't been reason for concern for years.
He became an NBA MVP and a two-time champion, an explosive scorer who could get 25 points on a bad night and 45 on a good one.But that was before having one of the most serious injuries a basketball player could face.
Now, 18 months after rupturing his Achilles tendon and finally set to play for the Brooklyn Nets, Durant once again has reason to wonder if he will be one of the league's greatest players.“Who knows?” he said Tuesday. “I've just got to see how I feel in a real NBA game again.”He hasn't played in one since Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals, when he went down early in the second quarter of his last appearance for Golden.
