Scores 13 against Sixers Durant scored 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact The Nets trotted out their expected Opening Night starting lineup for this one, although none of the five played more than Durant's 19 minutes. The 34-year-old superstar led the team in scoring on the night, and while there are questions surrounding how the unit will gel with Ben Simmons in the mix, Durant himself should have no trouble posting his usual outstanding numbers as long as he can stay healthy.

Likely suiting up for preseason Durant said Friday that he'll "probably" play in all four of the Nets' preseason games, but he doesn't know how many minutes he'll play, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact "I don't know how many minutes, but I'm sure I'll play in all of them," Durant said when asked if he'll be suiting up for preseason action. The exhibition contests will be a good way for Brooklyn to get acclimated to its new-look lineup, which is expected to feature Ben Simmons and Joe Harris -- who both missed significant portions of the 2021-22 campaign due to injuries.
