Kevin Durant made his debut for the Brooklyn Nets and finally returned to action after 18 months.

KD scored 15 points in 24 minutes in Nets’ win over the Wizards in the NBA preseason.

Per ESPN, “I was anxious, nervous,” Durant said afterward. “I visualized this moment for so long — nine, 10 months of thinking about how it would be, this next phase of my career. I felt like I was chomping at the bit, especially once COVID hit because I didn’t see a future — when the season was going to start in the future. I was going through it.

“It felt great, you know, to be back in a routine and get back on the floor and feel like a player again,” he said. “I didn’t think I played great. I felt I had some solid moments.”
