Kevin Durant's mother, Wanda, appeared on Wednesday's Good Morning America to discuss the Golden State Warriors star's injury suffered in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Wanda told Robin Roberts she didn't think her son was at risk of re-injuring himself because he felt confident about where he was at: "I was excited for him because I know how much he loves the game and I know he's been injured before, so I knew he wouldn't jeopardize himself. So when he told me he was ready to play, I said 'OK.'"
Durant's appearance against the Toronto Raptors Monday was his first game since straining his right calf on May 8 against the Houston Rockets.
