Bone bruise to keep Kevin Durant out at least four weeks

Warriors star Kevin Durant will miss at least four weeks after Golden State diagnosed him with a bone bruise on his left leg, the team announced Wednesday.

The Warriors announced that he is out indefinitely and would be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Durant suffered the injury in the first quarter of Tuesday night's 112-108 loss to the Washington Wizards. The injury occurred during a loose-ball situation in which Wizards center Marcin Gortat fouled Warriors center Zaza Pachulia, who then fell backward into Durant's leg. Durant jumped away from Pachulia's contact, hopping while holding his left leg.
