“My season is over. I don’t plan on playing at all. We decided last summer when it first happened that I was just going to wait until the following season. I had no plans of playing at all this season,” Durant said, per Spears. Durant, who signed with the Nets in the off-season after three seasons and back-to-back titles with the Golden State Warriors , said he is working out every day, but is not ready for the rigours of the NBA — yet.
“I’m moving. I’m feeling like a normal player again. I’m just in my summertime routine. I’m working out every day and going to the gym in the morning. So, I feel good,” he said. “It’s just best for me to wait. I don’t think I’m ready to play that type of intensity right now in the next month. It gives me more time to get ready for next season and the rest of my career,” he continued.
