Here’s the first look at Durant in Golden State
Last night, when the sports world was watching the Louisville Cardinals receive a major upset against the Clemson Tigers, the NBA quietly started pre-season games for the upcoming 2017 season. With many NBA fans wanting to get their first look at Kevin Durant on the Golden State Warriors, NBA TV aired a game with Dub Nation traveling to play the Toronto Raptors.
Throughout his brief 19-minutes of action on the court, Durant went 2-9 from the floor, including running point guard at times with the second unit – which we’re assuming Kerr wants to ensure either of his big two of Kevin and Steph Curry remain on the court at all times.
The original collective of Warriors starts didn’t have a good shooting night either, but did show an array of potential highlights from deep when they work off the summer rust. Take a look at complete highlights from Durant’s official pre-season debut with Golden State above.
