TORONTO — Tired, wounded and facing a daunting 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors are in desperate need of a boost. Needless to say, Kevin Durant‘s long-anticipated return would fit the bill.
Durant, who has not played since straining his calf May 8, will be a game-time decision for Monday night’s Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors in Scotiabank Arena, Coach Steve Kerr said Monday. Durant has missed the last nine playoff games and, in his absence, Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors seized command of the series by winning Games 3 and 4 in Oakland, California.
