Kevin Durant Says Warriors Didn't Mishandle His Calf Injury in Playoffs

Kevin Durant missed significant time in the 2019 playoffs due to a calf injury, but he isn't dwelling on it.

When asked in an interview with Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes if the Warriors mishandled his injury, Durant cleared up any questions surrounding his former team.

"Hell, no. How can you blame [the Warriors]? Hell, no," he said. "I heard the Warriors pressured me into getting back. Nobody never said a word to me during rehab as I was coming back. It was only me and [director of sports medicine and performance] Rick [Celebrini] working out every day.
