KD OUT….BUT FOR HOW LONG?
Bad news for Golden State Warriors fans. Early in tonight’s game against the Washington Wizards, Kevin Durant hyperextended his knee when teammate Zaza Pachulia fell right on it.
He left the game and would not return.
Durant was seen walking to the locker room under his own power, but was visibly limping and looked like he was in pain doing so. Team doctors will perform an MRI tomorrow to find out the extent of his injury, so Dub Nation fans should cross their fingers and hope for the best.
Here’s what coach Steve Kerr had to say about the injury.
