It is starting to get clearer and clearer that the Golden State Warriors are not giving out full details of Kevin Durant’s injury. He has still not touched the court since leaving Game 5 against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semis.

Most thought he would comeback against the Portland Trail Blazers, but the team made easy work of them in a sweep. Just when you thought he would get more rest and be available for the NBA Finals, the team provided a disturbing update to his status.

Durant is continuing in his rehab from a calf strain, and while the team is hopeful for his return, it seems he suffered much more than just a calf strain.
