Brooklyn Nets have now lost 10 games straight in the absence of Kevin Durant. Durant has been out since mid-January due to an MCL injury he picked up against the Pelicans. It was reported that he could miss the action for around 4-6 months. While his recovery is going on, Durant is spending his time on video games.
Durant was having an incredible season with the Nets before getting injured and was even getting MVP shouts. However, that changed when he got injured. Right now, Durant can’t get to the court due to his injury. So he prefers to pass his time by playing video games.
