Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant will miss Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings due to sore ribs, according to Mark Medina of The Mercury News.
Durant previously dealt with a right calf strain, sprained ankle and left-hand contusion this season, although none of those injuries have proved significant.
Now in his second season with the Warriors, Durant has carved out a spot in the MVP race by averaging 26.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting 52 percent from the field and 43 percent from three.
