The Brooklyn Nets have officially ruled Kevin Durant out for the 2023 All-Star Game, according to Chris Haynes. Durant is recovering from a sprained MCL he suffered in January and while the reports of his rehab are solid, he remains without a timetable for return. At one point, Durant was slated to be a captain for the All-Star Game before eventually ceding that title to Giannis Antetokounmpo. He did however remain in the starter spot and will now have to be replaced.
Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant (MCL sprain) will not play in the All-Star game next week in Salt Lake City, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.
