The Brooklyn Nets will be without superstar forward Kevin Durant for at least two weeks after he sustained a right MCL sprain in Sunday night's victory over the Miami Heat.
Durant, who will be re-evaluated in two weeks, appeared to injure the knee when the Heat's Jimmy Butler accidentally rolled onto his leg in the third quarter.
The 34-year-old star man immediately grabbed at his right knee and stayed on the floor momentarily before limping back to the locker room.
Durant has led the Nets to 18 wins in their last 20 games and a 27-13 record, a game behind Boston for the best record in the NBA.
When Durant was sidelined for six weeks last season with a knee sprain, the Nets lost 11 in a row amid a 5-16 stretch.
The Nets play again Thursday when they host Boston Celtics.
Durant could be ready to play at the All-Star Game in Salt Lake City on February 19.
