Durant left the pitch in the second leg of the playoffs in the fifth game on the 9th and had a injury in the right leg and returned to the locker room.
Durant, who was suspected of having an Achilles tendon injury, was tied up after trying to shoot, but was fortunate not to have an Achilles tendon injury but a calf injury. With the announcement of the injury, Golden State said Durant will lose all the remaining series.
Durant 's injury is very painful. Durant, meanwhile, has averaged 42.4 minutes, 33.2 points (FG 45.8 percent) and five rebounds (4.4 assists) in five semi-finals. In fact, the Houston and Golden State series are being played in the scoring showdowns of Durant and James Harden. Harden also had an average of 40.7 minutes, 34.8 points (FG 44.4%) and 6.6 rebounds (5.6 assists) in five semi-final games. The two teams' attacks are derived from most of the attacks in Durant and Harden's isolation plays, both of which are based on strong defensive and thoroughly blocking each other's pattern play.
With Durant missing, the ball is now handed over to Stephen Curry. Curry is still in the middle of the semifinals, Houston's strong pressure, and has averaged 40.3 minutes and 22 points (FG 39.4%) and 4.6 rebounds (5.2 assists) in five games. It would be comforting to see that Klay Thomson recovered his shot by scoring 27 points (FG 55%), including 3 points and 5 points (3P 50%) for the Golden State. I am wondering if Splash Duo has been resurrected and has confirmed his advance to the Western Conference Finals and presenting a psychological sense of security to Durant as he already suffered injuries.
