Brooklyn Nets made blockbuster signings of the season by landing superstars Kevin Durant from Golden State Warriors and Kyrie Irving from Boston Celtics during the off-season. The two were expected to feature together this season, but the Nets fans will have to wait until next season as their new signing Durant is still recovering from his Achilles injury which he suffered while playing for Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals last season. With the absence of Durant in the side, the Nets are 15-13 in the season at the moment. They occupy the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference.
