Report: Kevin Garnett Returning to the Brooklyn Nets

Good friend and longtime teammate Paul Pierce may have bolted, but Kevin Garnett is reportedly set to suit up with the Brooklyn Nets for at least another season. Per ESPN:

Despite the loss of Paul Pierce via free agency, Kevin Garnett likes the direction of the Brooklyn Nets and is “excited” about joining them for the upcoming season, sources said.

 

Garnett, who turned 38 in May, is due $12 million in 2014-15, which would be his 20th NBA season.

 

He has yet to publicly announce that he’s playing this season, but all indications continue to point that way. On Saturday, a league source said that the Nets still expect Garnett to return.
