The Golden State Warriors are experiencing some unwelcome déjà vu with the recent knee injury to Kevin Durant. After Stephen Curry’s unfortunate knee sprain during last season’s playoffs, Warriors’ fans were hoping the team could dodge major injuries this season.
Alas, it wasn’t meant to be so. For those of you who missed it, here’s what happened:
After an MRI and an evening fraught with worry, the Warriors reported that Durant suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain and a tibial bone bruise. He’s ruled out indefinitely, to be reevaluated in four weeks.
