Brooklyn star Kevin Durant came off the bench to score 33 points in the Nets’ 128-119 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday as he returned after missing three games due to an injury.

Durant, who didn’t come into yesterday’s game until the second quarter, had been out after bruising his thigh in a game last Sunday.

 

Magic Coach Tests Positive

Orlando Magic head coach Steve Clifford missed Sunday’s game against Indiana and will be out for more games after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Clifford originally tested positive Thursday, then tested negative twice Friday, before testing positive again Saturday. He was tested again, and it was revealed Sunday he had to enter the NBA’s Covid protocols.

Clifford had the Moderna vaccine, but he’d just gotten the second shot Thursday. Someone isn’t considered fully vaccinated until two weeks after the second shot.
