Brooklyn Nets superstar small forward Kevin Durant says he'll be “back playing at a high level” once he returns from his Achilles injury.

Durant knows it's going to be a long process, but the two-time Finals MVP is ready to put in the work.

“Man, life is good,” Durant told Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. “I’ll be back playing at a high level. There’s nothing for me to worry about. I just want to keep getting better. Obviously, I need to get healthy. But just keep improving my game, mastering every part of my game.

“What I can do now, I feel like I can make it sharper. That’s always been my goal is to strive toward perfection in my craft, and whatever comes with that, I’m cool. It’s the dog days. Just grinding every day. Getting better, getting stronger. It’s a long process.”

Kevin Durant is 6-foot-9 and can shoot over anyone from anywhere on the court. The new Nets star doesn’t rely on speed or athleticism to score the basketball, so he’s still going to be an unstoppable scorer when he returns to the court.

Durant, 30, has career averages of 27.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists. KD signed a four-year, $164.26 million contract with the Nets. Brooklyn isn't going to rush Durant back and will air on the side of caution with the future Hall of Famer.
