Kevin Durant opened up about his playing and physical condition ahead of the season opener against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
Durant admitted he will need some time to return to full form, as he has not played since Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
“I was out for 18 months not playing an NBA game, not playing against that physicality, the speed of the game. So it’s gonna take me some time to get my feet up under me, get my legs right,” Durant said, via Kristian Winfield of The New York Daily News.
Durant played very well in the two preseason games of the Nets and looked ready for the season start. Against the Celtics on Friday, he had 25 points, on 9-of-16 shooting, while adding six rebounds, two assists, and three blocks in 27 minutes.
