Kevin Durant got the max contract from the Brooklyn Nets in 2019 free agency despite his Achilles tendon injury. Durant is an NBA All-Star who could change the game for any of the NBA team he plays for. The Golden State Warriors lost the last NBA finals to the Toronto Raptors because Durant was injured in the fifth game.

The Nets had faith in Kevin Durant and believe he will recover fully before the 2019-20 season playoff starts. If everything goes right, Durant could become a part of the Brooklyn Nets team which plays against the Warriors. It would be the most interesting game as Durant will face his old teammates including Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
