Likely facing one-month absence Durant is expected to be sidelined for approximately one month after he was diagnosed Monday with an isolated MCL sprain of his right knee,
Impact The Nets haven't confirmed the one-month timeline, with the team merely announcing earlier Monday that Durant would be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 102-101 win over the Heat. However, since Durant will require some sort of ramp-up period even if his re-evaluation later this month yields good news, fantasy managers should be prepared for the possibility of the 34-year-old being sidelined until around the All-Star break in mid-February. Durant previously missed six weeks during the 2021-22 season due to an MCL sprain of his left knee, but the injury he suffered to his other knee isn't considered quite as severe. Before getting hurt Sunday, Durant had been a relative paragon of health this season, missing just one of the Nets' first 39 games while putting himself in the MVP conversation by averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 blocks and 0.8 steals in 36.0 minutes per contest while converting at career-best rates from the field (55.9 percent) and free-throw line (93.4 percent).

Nets' Durant out at least 2 weeks with sprained right knee
Kevin Durant has a sprained right knee and the Brooklyn Nets say he will miss at least two weeksJANUARY 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out at least two weeks Durant was diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee Monday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Durant left Sunday's win over the Heat early after tweaking his knee and underwent further imaging Monday, which revealed an MCL sprain. The news is devastating to the Nets, who've won 14 of their past 15 games and currently sit at second place in the Eastern Conference. However, with only five games separating second and seventh place, Brooklyn will have its work cut out for the team in the absence of Durant, who's averaging 29.7 points on 55.9 percent shooting across 36.0 minutes per game this season. Yuta Watanabe, Joe Harris and Seth Curry are candidates to join the starting lineup in Durant's stead, while T.J. Warren and Markieff Morris will presumably see increased work off the bench. Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons figure to handle the bulk of the playmaking opportunities until the MVP candidate is able to return.
