Kevin Durant nearing return to action for Nets

Durant has not played since Feb. 13 due to a lingering hamstring strain. The Nets have changed significantly since then, having added both Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge in the buyout market. Durant has still had an impact, having played a role in bringing one of those players to Brooklyn.
The Nets’ big three of Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving have only started six games together this season. Those three will want to get their chemistry as good as it can be before the playoffs, where the Nets will be among the favorites.
