The Brooklyn Nets have been in the spotlight the past couple of weeks due to trade rumors and finalizations. They recently completed the blockbuster transaction of James Harden and Paul Millsap for Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks.
Now, the Nets are working on building their updated team with their stars and these new additions. However, Kevin Durant has missed the last 13 games, and there is no clear timeline for his return, according to head coach Steve Nash.
ESPN NBA reporter Nick Friedell tweeted the update on the power forward Saturday morning.
Nash says that while there is still no firm timeline for Kevin Durant’s return — he has been doing some individual on-court work for about a week and is getting some shots up now after shootaround in Miami.

Durant's return is unclear, but Nash noted that he has been able to do individual on-court work the past week or so.
He suffered a sprained MCL in the Nets' January 15 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Durant left the court in the second quarter after suffering the injury and did not return to the game.
The Nets star has been ruled out until at least the end of the NBA All-Star Break. Brooklyn's first game back from the break is Thursday, February 24 against the Boston Celtics.
Durant was supposed to play in this year's All-Star Game on Sunday, February 20. He is unable to play because of his injury. Charlotte Hornets' guard LaMelo Ball will take over in the star-studded event.
