Kevin Durant to miss a week of action due to COVID protocols

The Brooklyn Nets have listed Kevin Durant as out for Tuesday night's game against the Utah Jazz due to the NBA's coronavirus health and safety protocols. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Durant must quarantine for seven days before returning to action.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that being exposed to a person who tested positive for COVID-19 is grounds for quarantine, despite the fact that Durant registered three negative tests in a row and had the virus back in May. He will miss a minimum of four games due to the protocols.
