Kevin Durant 'In Good Spirits' After Calf Injury, Says Warriors' Bruce Fraser
If Kevin Durant is going to miss any time because of the calf injury he suffered Wednesday night, you would never know it based on his postgame reaction in the locker room.
Per Adam Wexler of KPRC 2, assistant coach Bruce Fraser said Durant was in "good spirits" after the Golden State Warriors' 104-99 win over the Houston Rockets.
ESPN's Nick Friedell added Durant was following the "same routine as any other game" by scrolling through his phone while sitting at his locker.
Durant didn't return to the game after leaving in the third quarter following a non-contact injury. The Warriors announced the injury as a strained right calf.
While Durant may be in good spirits, his status for Game 6 is up in the air.
Per The Athletic's Tim Kawakami, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said it is "incredibly unlikely" Durant is available Friday.
Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported Durant will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the extent of his injury.
The Warriors hold a 3-2 series lead after their victory Wednesday. They can advance to the Western Conference Finals with a win in Game 6.
Durant is averaging 33.2 points per game and shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range against Houston this series.
