After missing two months and 26 games of basketball from a hamstring injury against the Golden State Warriors, NBA superstar Kevin Durant made his return to the Brooklyn Nets about three weeks back. Durant looked like he had picked up right where he had left off averaging 23.8 points, 6.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 65.3 percent from the field, 58.8 percent from 3-point land and 95.5 percent from the free throw line over a four-game span. In the Net’s fifth game series against the Miami Heat, Durant suffered a thigh contusion just after seeming like he was back to his full strength. After missing another three games, Durant was able to take the floor against Phoenix Sunday night, much earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
Scoring 10-points in the third quarter and five straight in the fourth, Durant put his team up by double-digits. He would finish the game with 33 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one block in just 28 minutes of playing time. He shot 12-for-21 from the field and 2-for-3 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
