Nets' Kevin Durant is at a "critical" point in his rehabilitation

Durant has been out since Feb. 12 and is averaging 29 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the 19 games he's played with Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Nets will be without Kevin Durant for at least two more games.
The former NBA MVP did not travel with the team for the three-game road trip.

Per ESPN, Coach Steve Nash said the decision was made because Durant is at a “critical” point in his rehabilitation for a left hamstring strain.

“We just felt like it didn’t benefit him to travel across the country while he is trying to get that critical last part of his rehab done,” Nash said.

Nash reiterated that Durant continues to make progress, is on the court every day and “looks great.” Nash said that if the Nets were at a more critical point in the season, Durant would likely be close to returning.
