Kevin Durant will miss the upcoming NBA All Star Game, which will be held on February 19 in Utah. The Nets star continues to recover from the knee injury he suffered during the game against the Heat (on 8/1).
Brooklyn coach Zach Vaughn expressed his belief that the player will return after the basketball holiday in the USA, but Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that despite that optimistic view, there is still no set date for Durant’s return to the court.
Meanwhile, the NBA is called upon to decide on his replacement at the All Star Game, with the 34-year-old named in the East’s starting five.
