Team Note: The Rockets will reduce Durant s regular season consumption, and he may miss back-to-back games

Rockets Binkley updated social media and analyzed the Rockets' strategy for using Durant in the new season.

Binkley said: "The Rockets have added several new veterans this season, including 36-year-old future Hall of Fame player Kevin Durant. Even though he is 36, Durant is still one of the most efficient scorers in the league. However, even a player as great as him cannot fight the passing of time, so the Rockets must carefully manage Durant's playing time in the new season."

"In the past seven seasons, Durant has only played more than 70 games in one season and more than 60 games in two seasons. In the last seven seasons, Durant has played more than 70 games in just one season and more than 60 games in two seasons. Durant missed some games due to an ankle injury and also had left thumb surgery during the offseason. Although the Rockets general manager said Durant would do his best to play, the team's plan still reduces his load to ensure he can stay in the best form for a long season, so that means he will miss back-to-back or three games in five days. "

Last season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 52.7%. He averaged 36.5 minutes per game, ranking seventh in the league.
