Kevin Durant tweaked his calf during the first quarter of a 125-122 win over the Mavericks about a week ago. He ended up playing well in 38 minutes during an exciting win in Dallas, but he has missed the following three games with a calf strain.
Golden State hasn’t had any trouble winning without Durant as they’ve gone 3-0 while he nurses this calf injury.
Steph Curry has been especially fantastic in Durant’s absence as he’s averaged 35.3 points per game in wins over the Rockets, Clippers, and Nuggets. Durant’s injury has also showcased the Warriors’ depth on the wing as they haven’t missed a beat without him.
