Kevin Durant Facing 7-day Quarantine

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant will most likely miss four games after coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. As long as Durant continues to test negative for the coronavirus, the soonest he can return is Jan. 12 against the Denver Nuggets. The Nets have also lost their last four of five games to drop below .500.
