Kevin Durant joked with reporters after Tuesday’s game that he might just play all 48 minutes on Wednesday against the Rockets when asked about concerns regarding his heavy workload.
Turns out, there are some concerns about the 32-year-old’s minutes.
Durant, along with LaMarcus Aldridge, will sit out Wednesday’s game, the second leg of a back-to-back. Durant played 41 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks, which saw the Nets down by as many as 17.
Durant, who missed his entire first season with the Nets due to Achilles surgery, played the entire second half on Tuesday. He ranks in the top 10 in the league in minutes, averaging just over 36 minutes per game.
