Nets forward Kevin Durant will remain out until after the All-Star break due to a left hamstring strain he suffered earlier this month.

Therefore, Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis replaces Durant on the All-Star roster, while Celtics forward Jayson Tatum will replace him in the starting lineup. Tatum is the highest-ranking forward among East reserves.

Durant has missed nine of Brooklyn’s past 10 games — three because of the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Nets will have to be careful with Durant. He’s no stranger to injuries and this team is trying to win it all this season. They will need Durant to be healthy for the postseason.
