Kevin Durant's Hopeful Injury Return Date Revealed

The Brooklyn Nets could be getting their superstar forward back before the All-Star Game

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant last played on January 8th when he suffered an MCL sprain that has had him sidelined since. There has been no concrete timetable for his return up until this point, but ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported before the Nets vs. Boston Celtics game that Durant hopes to play in the All-Star game.

"KD remains hopeful that he can return to play on All-Star Weekend," Wojnarowski said. "He certainly wants to be a part of All-Star. He likes the way his rehab is going, how he looks on the court."

Durant addressed the media last week, and said, "Definitely getting better each day. Just rehabbing, grinding, trying to get back out there as fast as possible." When asked about how tough it is being sidelined, Durant was honest about the frustration of potentially missing the All-Star game and other big moments.

"Another year of maybe missing the All-Star game and not playing against LeBron James at home. Stuff like that that I look forward to," Durant said. "On top of playing every game, I just look forward to it. On top of just playing every game and not playing against LeBron James at home. Stuff like that I look forward to. On top of just playing every game, I just look forward to that stuff. But it’s part of basketball as well."

Really wanting to be a part of All-Star Weekend, Durant is reportedly hopeful that a return before then is possible.
