 see how disappointed he is probably shocked that for the second time he's told that he can't play. This is what the NBA had to say. Kevin Durant has tested negative three times in the last 24 hours, including two negative PCR tests today. However, someone he had interacted with this afternoon subsequently had an inconclusive test returned shortly before the game. So Durant initially held out of the game while that result was being reviewed under the league's health and safety protocols. We do not require a player to be quarantined until a close contact has a confirmed positive test. Well, during the game, a positive test was returned for the person Durant interacted with this afternoon. Once that test was confirmed positive out of abundance of caution, Durant was removed from the game and contact tracing is underway to determine if he was in fact a close contact of the positive individual. And he really quickly, Frank, this is what he tweeted at 953 when you're sitting in the locker room. Here's the thing, Bob. So if you didn't have to be quarantined, why wasn't he allowed to start the game? That's number one. So clearly, there was an issue. So then now you're saying you're pulling him out by the third quarter. He now has come in contact with everyone on his team and everyone on the Toronto Raptors that played. So the whole thing doesn't seem to make any sense. We'll hear what Steve Natch says after the game. Maybe he has some more information, but this is a very bizarre situation. And the NBA has been cautious. And you wonder when you get an inconclusive back, I get you're holding him out of the game. But then what made it change? Because the guy had a positive to whoever it was had a positive to whoever he came in contact with ended up having a positive test. But it leads to the question. Then why was he allowed to even go into the game with about four minutes ago? You're saying you're not quarantining anybody. But yet he goes into the game four minutes into the first quarter and then early in the third quarter, you tell him that's it. Whoever you came in contact with had tested positive. Now we have to do contact tracing. This is after Kevin Durant had played about 19 minutes around all of his teammates and around the players on the Toronto Raptors. And by the way, many of you may know that it was a year ago in March that he tested positive for COVID. But there's so much still to learn about COVID-19 that they have to be careful. It's not as simple as, Oh, Kevin's had it once. He can play at will. That's not the case. And he's already missed four games this season because of contact tracing. So this has to be very frustrating for Kevin Durant, who's waited so long. It was 560 days between NBA games. And when he started the season and he played so well, then all of a sudden he missed those four games with contact tracing. Here he is tonight. He doesn't know what's going on. He's not allowed to start the game. And you saw the disappointment when they told him he couldn't play, had the water bottle on his hand. He threw it on the ground. Just a strange, strange night at the Barclays. Yeah. And the PS to this is they're playing back to back games. They've got to take on Philly. What does that mean for Durant tomorrow? Yeah, this and we were saying at halftime, when you looked at his minutes, we were thinking, you know what? There's a very good chance you might see him play 20 minutes in the second half. And he was finally starting to get his game together. You could see that the nets were finally starting to get a rhythm. So you're telling the nets at one point, right before the tip off, he's out. And then in the third quarter, now granted, he did have four fouls at that time. Maybe Steve Nash, who took a gamble and almost backfired, maybe he was going to keep him out of the game. That's what I originally thought when they were going to keep him on the bench after the challenge was overturned because remember that would have been his fifth foul. I thought, you know what? Maybe Steve Nash is figuring, I'm going to leave him on the bench for a couple of minutes and I'll put him back in the game. Alright, let's take a look at another tweet. This coming from Adrian Wojnarowski that Woj says, the rest of the nets have been cleared to travel to Philly tonight for Saturday's game against the Sixers. But here's the answer. Durant will not make the trip, sources telling ESPN. So this is another tough blow for the Brooklyn Nets, who tomorrow obviously will be shorthanded. They'll be missing the best player on their team against a team that has one of the best records in the NBA. You're going on to Philly and you're playing on a back-to-back. And by the way, they went into the game thinking, for the most part, it was going to be the big three starting. Suddenly that mindset changed and you wonder if you kind of brought this up at halftime if that had an effect on the Nets with that slow start. And it also has an effect when you look at it from this standpoint, Bob, Steve Nash was trying to stagger the minutes in the second half. And when he did that with Kyrie on the bench or James Harden on the bench, what did it allow Toronto to do? They started playing box in one, that junk defense that they were using against the Golden State Warriors at certain times during the NBA finals a couple of years ago. So that kind of took the Nets out of their rhythm a little bit. And down the stretch, the player that came through for Toronto was Kyle Lowry. You talk about his leadership, his big shot making ability. And that was the difference in that fourth quarter because the Nets, listen, James Harden and Kyrie Irving made big shots. But down the stretch, you want Kevin Durant on the court.
