Kevin Durant has been sidelined for the previous nine games for the Brooklyn Nets due to an MCL sprain.

The latest Kevin Durant injury update suggests that the marquee scorer desires to return for his team before the 2023 All-Star break. This also means that Durant will be making his first appearance in the star-studded exhibition game for the first time since 2019.
