NBA notebook: Nets GM expects Durant to miss 2019-20

Kevin Durant

Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks confirmed  yesterday that forward Kevin Durant is expected to miss the entire 2019-20 season as he recovers from a torn right Achilles sustained in June.

“His rehab is going very well,” Marks told reporters. “With Kevin, I think what we’re going to say is, the expectations are that he’ll be out for the year.”

Marks did leave the door cracked for that plan to change depending on how Durant feels about his own progress.
