Los Brooklyn Nets tendrán al delantero Kevin Durant de vuelta en la mezcla justo cuando el equipo se embarca en un importante viaje por carretera. 

Durant regresó a la práctica el viernes después de perderse los últimos tres juegos de los Nets por los protocolos de salud y seguridad del coronavirus. Brooklyn tuvo marca de 1-2 durante ese tramo y se está preparando para una gira de cinco partidos que comienza el sábado contra uno de los ex equipos de Durant, los Golden State Warriors (8:30 ET, ABC). 

El entrenador Steve Nash dijo a los reporteros el viernes que Durant estará «en plena lucha» contra los Warriors y está listo para jugar en el viaje por carretera. Sin embargo, el centro DeAndre Jordan no jugará contra Golden State ya que se perderá el juego por razones personales.

The Brooklyn Nets will have forward Kevin Durant back in the mix just as the team embarks on an important road trip.

Durant was back at practice on Friday after missing the Nets’ last three games for coronavirus health and safety protocols. Brooklyn went 1-2 during that stretch and is preparing for a five-game road trip that begins Saturday against one of Durant’s former teams, the Golden State Warriors (8:30 ET, ABC).

Coach Steve Nash told reporters Friday that Durant will be “a full go” against the Warriors and is set to play on the road trip. However, center DeAndre Jordan will not play against Golden State as he will miss the game for personal reasons.
