Brooklyn Nets superstar small forward Kevin Durant says he misses the little things of being on a basketball team.

Durant, who won't play this season because of his Achilles injury, says aspects like going to practice and just being one of the guys on the team are things he's missing:

“I feel all right. It’s been fun, playing three-on-three with the guys every day,” Durant told Nets play-by-play broadcaster Ian Eagle and former NBA forward Richard Jefferson on Wednesday, via The New York Post. “I miss the routine. I’ve missed getting up every day and being one of the guys, going to practice, going to shoot-arounds.

“It’s been difficult, being away from the scene. But I’m about nine months out [from surgery], so I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.”

A 10-time All-Star and former MVP, Durant has career NBA averages of 27.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 849 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors. He will make his Nets debut next season and Brooklyn fans can’t wait to see KD out there on the court competing with Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan by his side.

The Nets are hoping Durant and Irving can bring a championship to Brooklyn. Both players have Finals experience under their belts, as well as rings. Irving won his with the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2016, while Durant won two with the Warriors.
