The Brooklyn Nets suffered a blow to their rotation when it was announced that veteran forward Paul Millsap had entered the league's health and safety protocols. Not only did the Nets suffer a COVID-19 outbreak to their rotation, including players such as LaMarcus Aldridge, but they were also hit with an injury to superstar forward Kevin Durant.
As it waits on Durant's status tonight, Brooklyn is already without five players in the league's health and safety protocols, Joe Harris as he recovers from ankle surgery and, of course, Kyrie Irving.

Brooklyn superstar Kevin Durant is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors, per NBA reporter Marc Stein. Durant's questionable status comes amid a Nets COVID-19 outbreak that has sidelined players LaMarcus Aldridge, Paul Millsap, DeAndre' Bembry, James Johnson, and Jevon Carter.
Seeing as Brooklyn is already without Joe Harris, they will be extremely shorthanded if Durant, who is dealing with right ankle soreness, is unable to go.
It's unclear when Durant picked up the injury, though the Nets superstar did spend an awful amount of time on the court the last two games, playing 38-plus minutes in each while scoring a combined 82 points.
If Durant is unable to go and the Nets don't have any more players enter the health and safety protocols. an enormous amount of responsibility will fall on the capable shoulders of James Harden against a Raptors team with considerable depth.
Brooklyn fans should stay tuned for updates on both the Nets' COVID situation as well as Kevin Durant's injury status.
