Nets status report: Kevin Durant and Tyler Johnson may return Sunday

After missing three games, Kevin Durant is expected to make his return on Sunday.

Things are only getting better for the first-place Brooklyn Nets, as they are now closing on a potential return to action for Kevin Durant and Tyler Johnson. Durant has missed three games because of his thigh contusion and Johnson has missed 10 games because of a sprained right knee. On the latest Nets status report, Kevin Durant and Tyler Johnson are now probable for the matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

This is perfect timing for Brooklyn to get healthy as they look to socially distance themselves from the Sixers on the standings. Tyler Johnson has proved this season that he will be able to space the floor with his lethal three point shooting, at which he is shooting at 38% this season. Kevin Durant has shown us that he’s still Kevin Durant. To put more fear into his opponents hearts, he is shooting more efficiently than he ever has at 54%. The Nets forward is also shooting a career high 46% from three.
