Asked KD about playing in the ASG: “I want to play tomorrow.” Said he has a sense of urgency, but doesn’t want to rush it. Points out he missed his return to Golden State this weekend from it, hasn’t seen Warriors’ fans in the Bay since coming to Brooklyn. – 1:40 PM

Kevin Durant said he’s feeling better. Knew what he did in the moment. Still working to get back on the court. Thought Sunday’s game was “a character win.” – 1:36 PM

Kevin Durant is still at least two weeks away from returning, but his knee is improving enough to resume on-court basketball activities this week.

Jacque Vaughn said he doesn’t want to speculate on Kevin Durant playing in the All Star game. Said he shut his mind off after being told the first KD update would come in two weeks, doing the same with this one until he gets another. – 1:03 PM

It would definitely be the Knicks’ luck if Kevin Durant is cleared to play in time for the Feb. 13 game at MSG, where he never loses. – 12:56 PM

So Kevin Durant will be re-evaluated on February 7th. Brooklyn has 4 games after that before the All-Star break.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Nets hold him out through the break to give him an extended rest. – 12:33 PM

Adrian Wojnarowski: Recovery has progressed as hoped, but question will be if it makes sense to bring Durant back — if he’s ready — for only a few games ahead of All-Star break. Nets could give him even more time to rehab for resumption on Feb. 24. -via Twitter @wojespn / January 24, 2023
The digital creator business Goldenset Collective launched yesterday with $10 million in seed funding — including backing from Thirty Five Ventures, the investment firm of NBA star Kevin Durant. As traditional athletes increasingly bring their money and business acumen into creator-powered businesses, Durant is merely the latest to dip his toes into the space. -via Digiday / January 23, 2023
