Kevin Durant’s knee injury not as bad as last year’s?
Kevin Durant has another sprained MCL — but not all sprains are created equal, with both sources close to the situation and leading orthopedic specialists telling The Post this one isn’t as severe as the one that torpedoed the Nets’ last season. After Durant underwent an MRI exam and thorough examination Monday, the Nets proclaimed he would be revaluated in two weeks. That transparent timeline — plus sources close to the situation saying the injury isn’t as bad as the sprains that cost him a month in 2017 and six weeks a year ago — were taken as auspicious.

With 12-time All-Star Kevin Durant to miss several weeks, the future outlook to win the Eastern Conference remains mostly unchanged at the top.
However, odds for the 76ers and Cavaliers have now moved from +900 to +750 and from +1000 to +900, respectively, per @FDSportsbook. – 9:30 AM

More on this storyline
Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to be sidelined for approximately a month, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday. The Nets announced Monday that Durant was diagnosed with an isolated MCL sprain of his right knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks. -via ESPN / January 10, 2023
Durant missed six weeks with a left MCL sprain beginning in January last season, but there’s confidence that this is a less severe injury that won’t sideline the MVP candidate more than four weeks, the sources told Wojnarowski. Durant sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Nets’ 102-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night. The injury occurred with 1:05 left in the third quarter as Heat swingman Jimmy Butler went to the rim and got his shot blocked by Nets big man Ben Simmons. Butler fell back into Durant’s knee, and Durant stayed on the ground for a few moments but remained in the game. -via ESPN / January 10, 2023
Dr. Daniel Kharrazi of Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles told The Post that Durant’s experience with the injury and rehab practices should help him. The former orthopedic consultant to the Lakers concurred the injury seems less severe than the earlier two. “Frankly when I saw the replay of the injury, I thought it was a higher grade, but the fact that they’ve said two weeks revaluation tells me that they’re suspecting that this should hopefully heal pretty quickly,” Kharrazi told The Post. -via New York Post / January 10, 2023
