Kevin Durant has been diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain and will miss at least the next two games, the Nets said Sunday night.

Durant had just returned to the team after missing nearly a week due to COVID-19 protocols. 

He played 33 minutes Saturday in his first game back against the Golden State Warriors, helping the Nets secure a 134-117 win with 20 points, six assists, five boards and two blocks.

He'll miss Monday's 10 p.m. game at the Sacramento Kings and Tuesday's 10 p.m. tip-off with the Phoenix Suns.

Durant will receive treatment on the hamstring and further updates will be issued once information becomes available.

On a separate note, DeAndre Jordan is listed as probable to play Monday at Sacramento after missing Saturday's game in Golden State due to personal reasons.
