When Durant passed half of his old teammate Ibaka's body, Durant suddenly stopped, and then fell to the ground when Durant threw the ball. This was Durant's second injury this year, causing Durant to rupture his Achilles tendon. Previous reports have said so. Why did the Nets sign Durant with a ruptured Achilles tendon at a high salary? A reporter revealed the inside story and another hidden feeling. Achilles tendon rupture sounds scary, but no one knows how much is broken, whether it is 30%, 40%, 50%, or 60%, 70%. Everyone quarreled and followed others, all they knew was that Durant was done for next season. The Nets general manager also revealed that after further observation of Durant by the Nets medical team, the prospect of Durant being reimbursed next season cannot be ruled out. Is it that serious? Fans are still dubious. Chris Carter, a famous NBA reporter, revealed a piece of news on a program. He said Durant's injury was far less serious than reported. Carter said: "I have communicated with the relevant people. Durant can play in six months, 100 percent recovery! I trust these people, they work with the best athletes in the world, this is what they told me "They said Durant's Achilles tendon is 100% recovered and he will be ready!"

Irving and Durant have always been the Nets' dreams. The Nets are well aware that Irving is not happy in Boston. Before the start of last season, Irving told the team that he would renew his contract this summer. However, the team's poor record last season and the relationship with his teammates and coaches gave Irving new considerations in the middle of last season. Nets guard Dinwiddie and Irving have a very good relationship and have always been in communication. The team's coaching staff and front office know this, but they don't always chase what happens. After the season, the Nets became Irving's first choice. Durant took longer to make a decision than Irving. At that time, the Knicks were competing, and the Warriors were also competing. The Warriors could offer a five-year contract of US$221 million, which was US$57 million more than the Brooklyn Nets. But what Durant wants is simple, a good team and a strong environment that can support him. Durant's decision wasn't directly related to Irving's, but being able to play with friends really appealed to him.

For the Nets, Durant's injury is definitely a factor they need to consider. After all, a torn Achilles tendon is one of the most serious injuries for an NBA player. Max told the team's medical team to investigate further. They watched video of Durant's injury and studied medical reports. Kevin Durant was still under contract with the Warriors at the time, so the Nets didn't have all the information they wanted. No matter what price they offer, that means Durant will be playing for the basketball team next year. A few days before free agency opened, Max called the team's medical team. He asked everyone to show their hands in favor of giving Durant the maximum salary. As a result, everyone raised their hands.

It was a very touching moment," Marks said. "When you know there's a bunch of young people out there saying, 'Hell, we can't wait to die. We can't wait to do whatever it takes to get Durant back on the floor and prove people maybe wrong," and everyone puts the team on their shoulders. Atkins and I often say players do that, but I feel like the whole It's also important that management wants to prove something.
