(New York) Suffering from a strained right shoulder, the Nets’ Kevin Durant did not play against the Orlando Magic on Friday night in Brooklyn.
Durant started the day second in NBA scoring with 28.6 points per game, on average.
The Nets increased their record to 12-5 by winning 115-113, thanks in particular to 36 points from James Harden.
Brooklyn has lost just once in six games.
Durant has been in trouble with his right shoulder for some time.
The problems started when his family lost in Chicago on November 8.
The 33-year-old veteran has a .567 success rate in continuous play.
That’s on track to eclipse his career record of .537 set last season.
