Jose Calderon will earn $415000 for spending two hours with the Warriors

Durant, who participated in his eighth straight All-Star Game two weekends ago, is averaging 25.8 points (on a career-high 53.8% shooting), 8.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.7 blocks for the 50-10 Warriors. Under the circumstances, the Warriors were fortunate.

The Suns shot a season-best 59% tonight, getting six players to score at least 14 points.

Warriors forward Draymond Green told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears in a text that he is “relieved” by the diagnosis.

In short, San Antonio probably needs to sweep Golden State in their remaining two games to maximize its chances of attaining the No. 1.

Clearly, Warriors-Cavs III is no longer a forgone conclusion. Golden State said in a news release that it is hopeful he could play again before the playoffs. “So you got to create for each other a little bit more, move the ball a little bit more”. Even someone as gifted as Durant. Green, Curry and Thompson will also see a slight increase in their Fantasy value as they look to take over his offensive production. But ask LeBron James how he felt about playing similar end-of-the-bench, unproven players like DeAndre Liggins, Jordan McRae, and Kay Felder. To be clear, the messaging was, the MRI is somewhat equivocal, let’s get some better imaging. The Warriors cap off their five-game stand in Oakland against a surging Washington Wizards team. How’s that for karma? I spoke to Kevin a couple times. Plus, they have a healthy and highly motivated LeBron.

Myers said there was a short time when the Warriors feared the injury was worse, but a CT scan alleviated their concerns.

During the first quarter of the Warriors’ loss, Durant injured his knee after a contact with teammate Zaza Pachulia.

It’s the first game for the Warriors since Kevin Durant’s knee injury sent shock waves through the National Basketball Association. If the Warriors don’t hold down the fort without their leading scorer, rebounder and shot-blocker, there’s a small chance the Warriors could lose the West’s top seed. Luckily for the Warriors, Kevin Durant returned to the line-up after sitting out last Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets with a bruised left hand. And, by extension, the same went for the Warriors.

“These things happen in sports”, he said. The combination of Kevin Durant’s injury and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson shooting 3-22 from three-point range resulted in a loss to a hungry Bulls squad.

The Rockets and Spurs are not chopped liver.

But LeBron and Cleveland caught an even bigger break.
