The Brooklyn Nets held Kevin Durant out of Friday’s 115-113 win over the Orlando Magic because of a right shoulder sprain that has “just been bugging him a little bit.” Nets coach Steve Nash made it clear, though, that Durant’s injury will not be something that will keep him out for multiple games. “Let me put it in this context: We don’t feel concerned that it’ll linger or that he’d miss the next game,” Nash told reporters before the game. “It’s just a pocket in the season [to find him some rest] where it’s not like he sits tonight and plays tomorrow or Sunday. He actually gets a few days rest on top of rest of the shoulder [before the Nets play again on Monday], and so there was multiple factors that I think made it attractive for us to choose this game for him to sit.”
