Nets star Kevin Durant has dealt with a whole COVID-19 fiasco on Friday night and it's brought reactions from a couple of other NBA players, including Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum.
Bruh played then had to leave the game mid game ?

This is a question everybody wants to be answered, and there should be some clarity soon. Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young also took to Twitter himself about the bizarre situation.
How KD just out like that ?!?🤣

Durant wasn't allowed to start for the Nets against the Raptors due to contact tracing. Then he was shown on the bench and was cleared. He played 18 minutes and scored eight points with four fouls, and then it was announced that he was ruled out for the remainder of the game due to “the direction of the league.”

The Nets ended up dropping the game to the Raptors 123-117, and the future for Durant over the next few games is unclear.
The NBA has some serious questions to answer and the situation remains fluid.
