Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant dismissed the talks that he's tired or hurt in their playoff series against the Boston Celtics. The Beantown team has made sure to limit Durant's offensive opportunities and make life hard for him, which many believe may have taken a toll on him.

Not to mention that KD has been carrying a huge load for the Nets all season long, which Steve Nash earlier said could have contributed to his fatigue in the series.

However, Durant is not using that as an excuse for his poor play. He admitted that while he is eating big minutes for Brooklyn, he feels good and is not having any sort of discomfort.

“Nah, I don't think fatigue set in. I feel good playing. I don't feel winded. My body doesn't hurt. I wouldn't blame it on that,” Durant told reporters after their Game 4 loss to the Celtics, per Dave Early of ClutchPoints.

For what it's worth, the concerns about Kevin Durant possibly feeling tired is warranted. He hasn't looked like his usual self in the series, and while the Celtics' defense should be given credit, it is bizarre that one of the best offensive players of all time cannot get his rhythm against Boston.

Durant finished with 16 points during Saturday's contest, going 6-of-11 from the field including 2-of-3 from the 3-point line. He did have eight rebounds and eight assists, though his all-around effort was not enough to give Brooklyn that edge.

It is certainly nice to hear that Durant is not feeling fatigued, but then again, the Nets need him to get to his scoring ways if they want to avoid getting swept.
