So for real...KD can play for a quarter and then his leg snaps again. This is way more serious than a strain right?

I would say so yes, especially as he was clutching lower than his calf and during recovery it was lower than his calf that was wrapped.

Also I know it was said plenty in the other topic but fuck the fans who cheered his injury. I don't even like Durant and you just don't do that no matter the stakes

Yeah I get an immediate reaction to the foul but they went crazy for awhile when it was clear he was hurt. Just felt grosser than usual.

Also this just gives me the feeling of Durant on the Knicks and always being injured and them being mediocre for another generation

I really, really hope that Durant isn't seriously injured. The last thing you want is to jeopardize a future contract and a career to rush back.

There were rumblings of Warriors players confused/upset that he hadn't returned earlier. I hope that wasn't the catalyst for the return.

If it is his achilles and requires surgery then he very likely wouldn't be back until December. It's about a 6 month recovery time usually if surgery is needed

That being said, if it was his achilles I don't think he would have been playing at all tonight. You can barely walk 4 weeks after an achilles injury nevermind play ball.

I kept saying it was the achilles, but yeah, no way he plays if it's that.

It was clearly not his calf that he just injured though, so we can throw that out of the window.

Maybe a high ankle sprain?

This is why Kawhi didnt come back last year. Organizations putting pressure on players to play is disgusting.

There's a video, it's definitely his calf.

Might actually by an ACL after a rewatch. Let's hope for the former!

So from this it looks like it probably is an achilles rupture. The way the calf bounces upwards is what happens when the achilles tendon blows due to the tension releasing and firing upwards, I mean I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me and this was the step before he pulled up. Tore on this step and then realized it couldn't take any pressure when he tried planting it the step after

so Durant say anything about wanting to come back? I agree it's bad if the Warriors rushed him back, but if Durant rushed himself back I don't really care.

hate to agree with hot dog butts but yeah, kawhi proved that if you're a superstar player you have the high ground when it comes to sitting out

I'm not sure the Warriors will have forced him to play. I'd imagine that when it's do or die a lot of athletes just try to go because if they don't try and then the team loses, they will always question it.

Have to save athletes from themselves sometimes.

At the very least it looks like this one is probably over.

This is still going to go 7, obviousky without Durant though

I need to set myself up for disappointment to deal with the stress.

One team is shooting 50% from 3 and the other is at like 15% though.

I mean this is usually a good indication that the team shooting 15% has a good chance of winning if they are shooting that bad and the game is still close.

This is what an Achilles care looks like when replicated so you can compare to how KD's muscle reacted

Willis Reed had a thigh muscle tear right? If KD has torn his Achilles he will be lucky to be walking in 4-6 weeks nevermind hobbling around on a basketball court in 6 days
