Jose Calderon Had A Great Two Hours At The Office
But the Warriors also learned Wednesday that superstar Kevin Durant had suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain, giving them an immediate need at forward. The announcement was made through Twitter Wednesday.
Calderon was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Warriors quickly picked him up. Sports. Wojnarowski wrote that it is possible Durant misses the remainder of the regular season and his absence may continue until the playoffs or even longer.
But the Warriors have won it all without Durant.
It’s another reason you can feel good about rooting for Golden State. At the end of the first quarter, they led the Warriors, 40-26.
Durant hopped away immediately, holding his knee. I don’t know if it’s being raised outside of us. Green had 14 assists in Tuesday night’s loss to the Wizards after Durant left in the first two minutes, so we’ve already seen a glimpse of what we might get. He didn’t score and only had one unsuccessful shot.
Of course, a ring isn’t guaranteed to the Cavs or any other team just because of an injury to Durant. They own the two best lineups to have played 200 or more minutes in the National Basketball Association – their starting lineup and their new “death” lineup, with Draymond Green at center, Durant at power forward, and Iguodala at small forward.
Barnes had been everything the Kings had hoped for in the locker room and on the court, and in February, they were playing their best ball this season before the trade.
Warriors center Zaza Pachulia was pushed to the ground with 11:03 to play and fell back onto Durant’s left leg. Durant hopped around, stayed in for a couple more possessions, than the Warriors called timeout when they noticed Durant had a problem. The Dubs are signing Barnes who last suited up for the Sacramento Kings.
First, after news broke about Barnes’ return to Oakland, he posted this Instagram picture of former teammates Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson as a memory of days gone by. I’m glad he’s happy, I’m glad he’s successful, but he’s always going to be successful. Coming back to where it all started!
Mike Conroy led the Memphis Grizzlies with 29 points as they recorded a 130-112 win over the Phoenix Suns.
Iguodala is likely to be inserted into the starting lineup. He spent two years with the Warriors earlier in his career, helping them beat Dallas in a stunning upset in the 2007 playoffs.
