The Brooklyn Nets announced Friday that Kevin Durant will require an 'additional recovery period' for his hamstring injury that will keep him out through the NBA All-Star break.
The full release from the team:
After a routine follow-up MRI on his left hamstring, it was determined that Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will require an additional recovery period that will result in him remaining out through the NBA All-Star break. The latest images provided a clearer picture of the hamstring and while we are confident that Durant will return at full strength, this extra recovery time will allow him to perform at the level at which he has been playing this season once he returns. Durant will continue to undergo rehabilitation and will be re-assessed following the break.
Per Woj, Indiana's Domantas Sabonis is expected to replace Durant in the NBA All-Star Game, but it is unknown if Durant will be replaced as a captain who will select one of the teams.
