Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn confirmed that Kevin Durant underwent imaging on his right knee on Monday, January 9.
 
This was after the Nets superstar left Sunday, January 8’s 102-101 win over the Miami Heat in the third quarter at the FTX Arena.
 
“Right knee, he’ll get evaluated tomorrow and then hopefully I’ll have some more info," Vaughn said.
