Durant leads the Nets in points, rebounds and assists in his first season playing in Brooklyn.

Nets star forward Kevin Durant will miss the start of Friday's game against the Raptors to due health and safety protocols, the

team announced just before tip-off. A team spokesperson said Durant could be available later in the game pending "further updates," according to ESPN's Malika Andrews.

Durant was withheld from the lineup while reportedly undergoing contact tracing, per Andrews and Adrian Wojnarowski.

Durant has performed at his typical elite form in his return to the court this season after missing last year while recovering from an Achilles tendon injury. Through 17 games, Durant is averaging 30.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, leading Brooklyn in all three categories while shooting 53.3% from the floor and 45.2% on 3-point attempts. 

The Nets have won five of their past six games since Jan. 23, and currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference standings.
