Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant didn’t have much to say to TNT analyst Charles Barkley Tuesday after letting his game do the talking on the NBA’s opening night.
Durant scored 22 points in the Nets’ home victory over the Golden State Warriors in his first action since tearing his Achilles tendon as a Warrior in June 2019.
After the game, Barkley posed this question to the star:
“There was talk about you coming back for the playoffs last year. So, you’ve really just been working on your game trying to get back your timing and conditioning, really to be honest, correct?”
A stoic Durant, his bowed head draped in a towel, answered: “Yeah.”
Awkward silence.
