Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to be sidelined for approximately a month, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Nets announced Monday that Durant was diagnosed with an isolated MCL sprain of his right knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks.<\/p>\n

Durant missed six weeks with a left MCL sprain beginning in January last season, but there’s confidence that this is a less severe injury that won’t sideline the MVP candidate more than four weeks, the sources told Wojnarowski.<\/p>\n

Durant sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Nets’ 102-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
