Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant has entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, the team announced Saturday.

Durant joins forwards Paul Millsap, LaMarcus Aldridge, James Johnson and DeAndre’ Bembry and guards James Harden, Bruce Brown and Jevon Carter in the protocols.

Later Saturday, the team said that All-Star guard Kyrie Irving has entered the protocols, making him the ninth Nets player on the COVID list.

The Nets are scheduled to play the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.

Durant is averaging a league-leading 29.7 points to go along with 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists for Brooklyn, who have won four in a row and have the Eastern Conference’s best record at 21-8.

To make up for the roster shortage, the team signed free agent forward James Ennis III and free agent guard Shaquille Harrison to 10-day contracts.
