The Brooklyn Nets’ 2022–23 season has come off to a rough start (11-11 in their first 22 games).
They have had victory in their last two matches and have improved recently, going 6-4 in their previous ten games.
The 12-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant’s performance has been their most significant source of encouragement this season.
He is now shooting the field at 54.8%, scoring 30.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
According to a source, the former Texas standout leads the NBA this season in playing time.
While Durant’s statistics are outstanding, it is even more remarkable that, at the age of 34, he plays the most minutes in the NBA.
He has been the most effective and able to spend the most time on the court.
Although the Nets have had a difficult two seasons, Durant is still regarded as a top-ten talent in the NBA (perhaps a top-five player).
They weren’t guaranteed to make the NBA Playoffs in 2023 after getting swept in the opening round in 2022.
The supporting cast is excellent, but Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons need to play more constantly.
They won their last two matches against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Orlando Magic, and on Wednesday night at Barclays Center, they will play host to Kyle Kuzma and the Washington Wizards.
In their last ten home games in Brooklyn, New York, the Nets have won 6-4.
