“Kevin [Durant’s] traditionally been an unbelievably quick and strong healer….but at the same time we don’t want to risk him for 2 or 3 games at this point, we want to make sure he feels confident on top of the performance team….”

Steve Nash says “I suppose it’s not out of the question” that Goran Dragic plays in Milwaukee, but says it’s less likely. Nash also says it’s not likely Kevin Durant plays in Milwaukee, either, but doesn’t rule it out. #Nets5:55 PM

Alex Schiffer: Sean Marks seems to indicate that he doesn’t expect Kevin Durant or Ben Simmons to play “in the next three to four days.” Would put them both out through the Milwaukee game, but Marks adds they’ll see how their bodies respond after practice the next two days. -via Twitter @Alex__Schiffer / February 22, 2022
