Sean Marks: We're never going to push Kevin Durant to come back

KD signed a four-year, $164 million contract with the Nets, with a player option in the last season

Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks talks with Newshub about the possibility that Kevin Durant will play this season, especially if the season resumes in the last months of the year.

“That’s a $110m question,” chuckles Marks. “In all seriousness, we’ve tried not to talk about his timeline a lot.

“He knows his body better than anybody. Our performance team and training staff have done a tremendous job getting him to this point, but I just don’t know how coming out of this pandemic will affect anybody, let alone Kevin.

“When you’ve got enough invested in a player like Kevin, we’re never going to push him to come back. When the timing is right, he’ll be 100 percent when he gets on the court.

“I can tell you this though – before the pandemic, he looked like Kevin Durant and that’s a good thing.”
