Kevin Durant‘s performance in a five-on-five halfcourt workout today has the Warriors believing he will be able to play again before the regular season ends, writes Monte Poole of CSNBayArea.
“He looks good,” said assistant coach Willie Green, who participated in the workout. “He’s doing about everything he normally does. The thing is, now you don’t want to push too hard.”
It has been a little more than a month since Durant suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain and a tibial bone bruise in his left knee. He went through today’s workout wearing a protective brace that stretches from his tibia to a few inches above the kneecap.
Golden State has six games remaining in the regular season, which wraps up April 12th.
Assistant Mike Brown said Durant’s agility and movement have almost fully returned, but head coach Steve Kerr warned that a regular season return isn’t guaranteed.
“We’re getting closer, but we’re not there yet,” Kerr said. “He’s doing well, but we have to keep it going and let it play out until he’s completely ready.”
They are back to playing like they did before Durant arrived.
I give a lot of credit to the addition of Matt Barnes. Fills in the forward spot, provides tough defense, plus a little bit of offense.
Wonderful pick up. Great week beating Houston twice and the Spurs in San Antonio.
What’s this now 11 in a row?.
Great time to Peak.
Their bench is decent, I am not big on McGee’s IQ in the playoffs and guarding the pick and roll if they play the Cavs in the Finals. I am not even a Lebron fan but I gotta give the dude credit he is straight coasting and morphing in the playoffs, he’s just letting the rest of the team get acclimated specially JR Smith and Kevin Love who just got back not too long ago. Would be nice to see KD get his first ring but the Cavs are deeper and have more shooters.
Good points !!
We shall see. …its going to be fun to watch.
What is the difference between “McGee’s IQ and Mo Buckets”, more rebounding and block shots versus mo threes..
I see Livingston being more challenged this year than last year, Re- sign Iggy and I don’t know if you can re-sign Livingston. Give the time to Clarke and hope the team can develop a deeper bench
All warriors shouldn’t feel bad about last year
I felt bad for Lexi Thompson LPGA who just lost the
Tournaments by one stroke
I think she was leading by two strokes with four holes to play
Then the official told her she was penalized four stroke from yesterday round
She did something wrong on the putting green
Why didn’t the official penalize her on that same day??
Warriors will win the final if the referee overturn all those non four call from last year ???
