Looked like Durant was grabbing his Achilles. If thats what he hurt, has to be serious enough that he cant do any more harm to it. Not good.
I thought it was the achilles initially the way he looked at the back of his leg when he was running down the court vs the Rockets....I'm shocked he was able to come back at all...
Good point. He looked way better than I expected, although he looked so fragile. Everyone criticizing him should eat their words. He tried even in pain and even when honestly he shouldn’t have.
They are calling it a “right lower leg” injury. Really? I mean, wow...

I don't even care about Knicks free agency anymore. I am used to us being terrible. I just can't believe the Warriors would do this. I also can't believe KD's inner circle would allow this to happen. This is his life and career. Achilles is probably the most serious injury for a basketball player and they pressured him to play on it.

Yeah, I wish more dude would look at what happened to Grant Hill when they rush back to the court.

Dont believe its a secret that Durant scours social media for criticism he believes is unfair. What fans say and think of him is important to Durant. So it doesnt surprise me he wanted to leave no doubt, he gave his all.
The only reason I can think of GS greenlighting this bad idea, was that they were worried that benching Durant, would push him out the door.

Its up to the player to know his body.
Why we always have to "blame"?
He can opt out. if he sits, They pay him. This guy was averaging 34 a game in the playoffs.
really guys, he knows his body, Dr's no his body, we don't know spit.
True. We are in an era where we just don’t trust authorities and believe our opinions are facts and that’s far from the truth.
But take all the assumptions out, this still looks so bad. He didn’t look right at all out there. His talent shined, true, but he looked fragile and gimpy. You had the sense he was a bad collision away from being out for good. He did a brave thing, yet maybe a foolish thing. It’s the Finals and you can feel for him, but it’s also his career.
I don’t care if he goes to the Knicks or does whatever he wants, just hope this situation doesn’t end Up damaging his career long term.

Oh wow, they do look really similar. If that’s the case, it’s really sad for KD...
Durant left the building in crutches and with a cast in his leg.

Would like to hear what Kerr has to say about Durant not being able to aggravate his injury any more than he has already.

This is nuts!!! For the first time, the Warriors front office will be under fire!!
Now Looney reagrivates his Broken bone injury. Warriors management / medical staff are a disgrace, those two guys should not have been playing
