The New York Knicks announced Friday the team is 100% vaccinated, but the Brooklyn Nets have said otherwise.
Kevin Durant is staying with the Brooklyn Nets for the long term.
Durant is the top scorer to ever wear the red, white and blue, a player who has been unstoppable on the international stage from the moment he arrived.
With the 25th pick, the Clippers selected for the Knicks Houston guard Quentin Grimes, who led the Houston Cougars to the final four and shot 40% from three this past season.
Durant played all 53 minutes and forced OT with a turnaround jumper that was just inches from being a 3-pointer that would have won it with a second left.
Game 7 will be Saturday night in Brooklyn. The home team has won each of the first six games in this series.
It could have been the best individual effort in the Hall-of-Fame career of Kevin Durant. Few players are capable of putting up a 49-point game, but he also did it when the franchise needed it most.
With James Harden returning but delivering little offense and Kyrie Irving out, Durant played all 48 minutes and shot 16 for 23 from the field.
The Nets, who are without Kyrie Irving on Tuesday, had James Harden also as out in their injury report Monday but upgraded him twice on Tuesday, first to doubtful and then to questionable.
First they lost James Harden, then Kyrie Irving, and finally the Brooklyn Nets lost their lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Bucks erased a 2-0 deficit by winning two straight in Milwaukee. Game 5 is Tuesday night at Brooklyn.
The security guard went on the court during a confrontation between Kevin Durant and P.J. Tucker in Game 3.
Brooklyn had its lowest scoring output of the season.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points in three quarters of a top-to-bottom blowout that sent the Brooklyn Nets halfway to the Eastern Conference finals with a 125-86 rout of the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Harden's injury is the same one that forced him to miss two losses to the Bucks in May.
