Earlier this month, Nash said there was no specific plan in place for managing Durant\u2019s and Irving\u2019s minutes, but said it was unlikely they both will play all 72 games.<\/p>\n<p>When Durant was asked after Friday\u2019s win in Boston about the plan for his playing time heading into the next couple of days, the 10-time All-Star said he wasn\u2019t 100 percent sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. We haven\u2019t talked about it yet,\u201d Durant said. \u201cI\u2019m going to talk about it with our training staff and coach and see what we come up with. Obviously, I want to play as much as I can, but I definitely want to trust in the training staff and the organization and do what\u2019s best and consult with them on it as well. So we\u2019ll see, but I plan on playing next game.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL9537014552&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The 32-year-old Durant started in every game during his three seasons with the Warriors, averaging 34 minutes per game. But coming off a ruptured Achilles tendon, which Nash said is one of the toughest to move on from, Durant is expected to need periodic rest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything is to be determined, I think still,\u201d Nash said. \u201cWe still know that we want to protect our players, but at the same time, we\u2019re not always going to have the opportunity to do that. Sometimes you have to take slight risks to try to give your team the best chance, and if the risk feels too much, then we\u2019ll pull back. And some of those things, you can\u2019t decide until right before the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have no new limitations or injuries, so we\u2019re going to run it back just like against Golden State and keep building.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>The Nets and Jarrett Allen were unable to agree on a contract extension before the deadline this past Monday, but Nash said he is sure there\u2019s a lucrative deal in the 22-year-old\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t talked to him about that,\u201d Nash said. \u201cWe\u2019re focused on the season. He has a bright future. He\u2019s going to have a big contract whenever the time is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guy was unbelievable [Friday]. He was good in the first half, he was special in the second half. That\u2019s what it\u2019s going to take to win, especially as we\u2019re forming here, is special efforts and man, he was good. \u2026 Defensively, protecting the rim, loose balls, rebounding at both ends, he was outstanding. We\u2019re proud of him and he\u2019s continuing and improving at this stage of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allen, in his fourth season in Brooklyn, had nine points and 11 rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench against the Celtics.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
