Warriors begin life without Durant in Chicago

Sporting a league-best 50-10 record, the Golden State Warriors haven't been forced to deal with much adversity as they chase after a third straight appearance in the NBA Finals. Forward Kevin Durant is expected to miss four to six weeks with a sprained MCL and tibial bone bruise he suffered in Tuesday night's 112-108 loss to the Washington Wizards. On Wednesday, Warriors general manager Bob Myers told reporters in Chicago that Durant's injury -- initially believed to be possibly season-ending wasn't as bad as initially feared.
