NBA Rumors: Kevin Durant Could Miss One Week Due To COVID-19 Protocols

It would mean Durant misses up to four games

Kevin Durant just can’t seem to escape COVID-19.

The Brooklyn Nets forward has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Utah Jazz due to exposure to a positive COVID-19 case, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Under the NBA’s health and safety protocols, he could miss at least one week.

If that’s the case, Durant could miss at least four games.

Durant, as you likely remember, was one of four Nets players to test positive for COVID-19 in May. He’s tested negative for the virus numerous times of late and “continues to register antibodies,” per Woj.
