Warriors’ Kevin Durant out at least 4 weeks
WASHINGTON — The Warriors' pursuit of an NBA title absorbed a possibly serious setback Wednesday, when the team announced that forward Kevin Durant will miss at least four weeks with a sprained medial collateral ligament and a bone bruise in his left leg. The typical recovery for such an injury is 4-to-8 weeks, but a bone bruise can potentially increase that timeline. According to cedars-sinai.edu, the symptoms are "noticeable looseness in the knee when moved by hand; major pain and tenderness at the inside of the knee; swelling, in some cases." Last spring, Stephen Curry was sidelined for two weeks during the playoffs after suffering a less-serious Grade 1 MCL sprain when he slipped on the court in Houston during Game 4 of the Warriors' first-round series against the Rockets. The All-Star played two more possessions before asking head coach Steve Kerr to call timeout with 10:26 left in the quarter. There was a short time when the Warriors worried that Durant's injury was worse, but a CT scan eased those concerns. The CT scan gives you much more clarity on a bone injury or a bone bruise, much more than an MRI. Durant is scheduled to fly back to the Bay Area on Wednesday...
