Kevin Durant was certainly not happy when he was forced to leave the Brooklyn Nets-Toronto Raptors game at Barclays Center on Friday due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
His in-game reaction and body language said it all, moments before he was escorted out of the playing court.

It's not hard to feel for Kevin Durant for the bizarre development. After initially being pulled out at the start of the game for contact tracing, the Nets forward was allowed to return and actually suited up for 19 minutes.
He already made contact with Nets teammates and Raptors players throughout the whole game when he was yanked a second time and asked to leave the premises.
The one-time MVP's frustrations were evident, as he posted a two-word tweet after the whole debacle.

KD was clearly thrown off by the whole thing, as he only had eight points, six boards and five dimes before his exit. He was in foul trouble the entire time and was assessed with his fifth personal foul before leaving the game for good.
Durant is in the midst of an amazing comeback season for the Nets after missing the entire 2019-20 campaign. He is currently the top vote-getter in the Eastern Conference's first All-Star ballot returns.
