Don t Worry, Kevin Durant Still Looks Like Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant stepped onto the basketball court for the first time in 18 months earlier this week, taking the floor to play in the two Brooklyn Nets preseason games. He tore his Achilles in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals. He is finally back. And for those who worried, you can stop doing so: Durant looks pretty much like the same Durant that struck fear into the hearts of many a defender for the past decade.
Medical science has advanced significantly and all that jazz, but an Achilles tear is nothing to sneeze at for a basketball player. It has robbed more than one player of enough explosiveness and mobility to derail an entire career. Love him or hate him, anyone who appreciates basketball as an art form wanted Durant to return to something resembling the world destroyer he was with the Golden State Warriors. Few players make the game look as effortless as Durant when he s feeling it.
