Kevin Durant having ‘rough time’ dealing with injury, says mom

Kevin Durant’s mom revealed her son is “having a rough time right now” in the aftermath of the serious Achilles tendon injury that knocked him out of the NBA Finals.

“Emotionally, it’s a little tough for him,” Wanda Durant said about her son Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “He’s having a rough time right now.”

Durant suffered the devastating injury early in the second quarter of the Warriors’ eventual Game 5 victory on Monday.

“It’s still kind of hurtful to see the anguish in his eyes,” Wanda said when recalling the moment her son went down on the court in Toronto.
