“He’s on the pitch, taking his shots, working on some things, he looks really good. He still has a little time to pass before he takes the leap, but it’s really positive”.
In these difficult times, since Brooklyn remains on a series of eleven losses, the close return of Kevin Durant to the competition restores a little balm to the heart to Steve Nash.
At the time of his injury to Kevin Durant following a clash with Bruce Brown, his absence had been estimated around four to six weeks. So we’re getting there very slowly and KD is getting closer to the end of the tunnel.
“He’s been on the pitch for about a week. Now he is taking his shots at his spots in order to gradually achieve more dynamic movements. It’s part of his rehabilitation process and he’s doing really well.”, added the Brooklyn coach.
Do the round back while waiting for everyone to be available
In addition to having to face a delicate situation with this bad series, the Nets find themselves particularly diminished at the moment T, between the injuries and the unavailability of the three recruits who arrived in exchange for James Harden. Beyond the Ben Simmons case, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond have not yet been authorized to play. Their first steps with Brooklyn should take place on Monday against the Kings.
Steve Nash also gave news of LaMarcus Aldridge, who is currently recovering from a sprained ankle, contracted on January 29 against the Warriors and whose return would be imminent. “I think it’s more a matter of days than weeks”he said.
He will therefore have to continue to hunker down for a while before benefiting from the full power of his group. In any case, Andre Drummond strongly believes in the potential of this team to seek the title.
“We have an excellent roster. When everyone is healthy and able to play together, I think we will be scary in the final stretch of the playoffs. Do I think this team is a team made for the title? Absoutely “launched the pivot. “With the group of guys we have here, we’re more than capable of doing it, and I don’t see why we couldn’t.”
