For those confused on Vaughn’s Durant answer, the team will fly back from Miami tonight, KD will get an MRI and what not when team is back in NYC. So no update coming tonight. – 8:41 PM

Vaughn said he did not ask Durant how he was feeling. It should be noted that Vaughn is doing a lot of smiling in here, which I doubt he would be doing if he just got really bad news. – 8:37 PM

Timeout Jacque Vaughn. Heat lead the Nets 97-96 with 3:31 left. Seth Curry up to 12 points and has heated up since KD went out. They need it. Wonder if we see a little more T.J. Warren for offense. – 8:12 PM

For context, Kevin Durant sprained his left MCL against the Pelicans in mid-January 2022. So different knee than last year’s injury. – 8:06 PM

Halftime: Nets lead the Heat 66-64. Kyrie Irving is feeling it. He’s got 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting. Second-highest scoring half for a Net this season behind KD in Chicago (28). Heat have received help from everyone. Jimmy Butler leads with 11. Should be a good second half. – 7:09 PM
