The Nets said on Friday (Saturday, Manila time) that after a routine follow-up MRI on Durant s left hamstring, it was determined that he needed additional recovery time. Durant has missed Brooklyn s last six games. The Nets, who have won eight straight, have three more games before the break. Durant, in his first season back after recovering from surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, was the leading vote-getter in the Eastern Conference. That made him a captain of one of the teams in the March 7 All-Star Game, and he s scheduled to select a team opposite LeBron James next Thursday.
