Warriors to be without KD for at least a month
Durant was booed heartily by Thunder fans when the Warriors played in OKC on February 11.
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – SEPTEMBER 24: National Basketball Association player Kevin Durant attends the game between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins at MetLife Stadium on September 24, 2015 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Barnes played 54 games with the Kings this season.
On Saturday, Kevin Durant missed his first game as a member of the Golden State Warriors with a left hand contusion.
Box Score All five Wizards starters scored in double figures for the 23rd time this season to lead Washington to an 112-108 win over Golden State. Curry, who leads the league with 231 three-pointers this season, had hadn’t gone through an National Basketball Association game without making at least one three since the 2012-13 season.
RAPTORS 92, KNICKS 91- DeMar DeRozan made a turnaround jumper with 1.9 seconds remaining, finishing with 37 points and leading Toronto over NY. Teammate Zaza Pachulia collided into Durant’s left knee when going up for a rebound. The backup point guard was scoreless heading into the fourth quarter but gave Detroit a huge lift down the stretch.
Durant immediately clutched at his left knee then hobbled around a bit. After starter Marcin Gortat had to sit with two fouls, Mahinmi impacted the game by grabbing three offensive rebounds and scoring six points.
That includes a league-record streak of 157 games with one or more triples, snapped on Nov 4 against the Lakers.
The Warriors have agreed to a deal with free agent small forward Matt Barnes to help ease the loss of Durant.
Barnes could be a better find for the Warriors, who is averaging 7.6 points with 2.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds.
