Kevin Durant will sit out the Nets' game against the Jazz on Tuesday and could reportedly miss the team's next four games as he follows the league's health and safety protocols.
Multiple reports stated Durant was exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 and is facing a seven-day quarantine period.
That would see Durant also sit out against the 76ers and the Grizzlies on Thursday and Friday, as well as Sunday's showdown with the Thunder.
