Kevin Durant Out At Least Two Weeks With Left Calf Strain 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Nov 10, 2024 2:54 am

Kevin Durant will be out at least two weeks with a left calf strain. Durant suffered the injury during the Phoenix Suns' 114-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. 


Durant is averaging 27.6 points in 38.8 minutes per game this season. Durant's minutes per game is his highest total since the 10-11 season. 


The Suns have an 8-1 record to start the season, largely behind Durant's 35 points in clutch time.


Durant had a right calf strain during the 2019 playoffs before he tore his Achilles in Game 5 of The Finals.

Playing KD 39 minutes a game was just asking for trouble...

Exactly, and he's coming off playing in the Olympics. I wouldn't be surprise if this turns into a 6-10 weeks injury.
