Intro:
Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks reacted to Kevin Durant's injury at the team's practice facility in Oklahoma on Monday.
Durant, the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP), will be out for an undetermined length of time with a fracture in his right foot, at the base of the small toe.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach:
"You know, one of the things I love about Kevin (Durant). He loves to play. That guy loves the game of basketball. He's passionate, it's not a hobby for him. It's his livelihood. He loves to play. He loves his craft. He wants to get better everyday. That's what makes him a special player. He's talented but his drive and his determination, his heart and is commitment to his team is what makes him a special human being on and off the court. But he's handled it pretty good, as good as anybody in his situation can handle it."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach:
"It's never good timing when somebody's hurt. I mean, no one's feeling sorry for us. I can honestly say I did not receive any text messages from coaches around the league hoping to postpone the season. They're not waiting for us. But it's good that it's in training camp. There's a couple of weeks we still have to try to see how we can improve this team day by day. That's the exciting and challenging part of my job is to find those areas in the next two weeks going into the next game."
