“#Nets star exits with thigh contusion<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant was forced out of Sunday\u2019s game<\/a> in Miami with a left thigh contusion and won\u2019t return.<\/p>\n

After scoring eight points 1:33 into the game, Durant drove past Andre Iguodala and was fouled by Trevor Ariza.<\/p>\n

Durant, an 88-percent free-throw shooter this season, missed both of his foul shots. He stayed on the court, but favored one leg and was seen fiddling with his left thigh. <\/p>\n

The 32-year-old eventually checked out of the game with 7:57 left in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

The Nets can only hope the injury is minor and doesn\u2019t linger, considering Durant\u2019s importance to their championship hopes and his recent health history.<\/p>\n

Durant missed 18 months after rupturing his Achilles while playing in the NBA Finals for the Golden State Warriors in June 2019. <\/p>\n

He missed 23 consecutive games this season with a left hamstring strain, having returned April 7, and has app<\/a>eared in just 24 of 57 games this season.<\/p>\n

Durant had played five of the six games since returning, as he was rested Wednesday in Philadelphia as the tailend of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Durant came into Sunday averaging 28.1 points, seven rebounds and 5.4 assists. With only 15 games left on the schedule after Sunday, the Nets\u2019 Big 3 \u2013 Durant, Kyrie Irving and the currently hamstrung James Harden \u2013 have only started six games together all season.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
