Will Kevin Durant play tonight vs. Hornets?
Durant made his return to the floor against the Miami Heat on Thursday, March 3, then suited back up again for a matchup with the Boston Celtics on Sunday, March 6.
He is not listed on the Nets injury report for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Durant picked up right where he left off, going for over 30 points in each of his first two games back.
The Nets went 5-16 during Durant's 21-game absence and now sit in ninth place in the East. With fewer than 20 games remaining on the schedule, Brooklyn has its work cut out to get out of the Play-In Tournament range and into a top-six seed.
