Durant has still not practiced... How could he possibly return for Game 3?

So he'd have one practice before Game 3...


I mean, I dunno what he's doing, maybe he's shooting hoops at his home anyway, but is that common, after such a lay-off?

[hold this L]

I don't think he comes before game 4, if it all IMO. But game 4 is far more likely than game 3. Hopefully the team wins tonight, so they don't have to rush him which may give him a long term injury because of it.

I would guess that if he has just one practice and then returns, he'd maybe play in limited fashion off the bench, and then maybe have an increased role the following game

Wasn't it G6 just one week ago?

A week ago the Warriors said Durant won't be ready when the Finals begin, but they were optimistic he might be able to play at some point during the series

But it was never more exact than that

[FKAri]

He hasn't even been cleared to run yet.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Hes trained for this moment all his life

True American, went to Texas.... he wont allow those Canadian communists to take home the title....

If Durant is even a little nicked up hes not coming back.

If Durant is even a little nicked up hes not coming back.
The fact that he's coming up on a contract makes it complicated for him.

[red1]

durant is a ****ing ***.


I hope he hurts his calf again in practice.

You're right, but I mean, he likely won't be seeing the Finals again for the rest of his career if he leaves, so... heh

I hope he realizes that and stays in golden state collecting cupcake rings
