NBA Twitter in awe of Kevin Durant’s hot start in return
Kevin Durant #KevinDurant
Kevin Durant was back on the court in an NBA game for the first time since tearing his Achilles in June 2019 and the former league MVP looked like he hadn’t missed a beat.
The 32-year-old made an immediate statement in his Nets debut on Tuesday against his former team, the Golden State Warriors, by scoring 10 points in the first five minutes, something he has done only three other times in his career.
It was quite the first impression, not just for his new team, but also to erase any doubt that Durant would not quite be the same in returning from his Achilles injury – a key storyline as the 2020-21 NBA season tipped off.
The reaction on social media was eye-raising as everyone gazed in awe that Kevin Durant was finally back.
