Kevin Durant injury update: Official update on Durant’s apparent Achilles injury

Kevin Durant injury update vs Rockets: Official update on Durant’s apparent Achilles injury with a calf strain being the real reason

Kevin Durant has gone off to the locker room in the third quarter of Game 5 in the Warriors vs Rockets series after an apparent Achilles injury.

Durant made a jumper on the right wing, when he landed and whilst going back for defense just felt a little something in his Achilles. It was pretty similar to how Kobe Bryant reacted when he suffered his Achilles injury on court.

As soon as Kevin Durant was going back for defense, he looked back as he felt someone kicked him, but there was no one there and all signs point to an Achilles injury.

The commentators and twitter feels it is an Achilles injury and if that is the case, we could be in for a new NBA champion this year, especially looking at the way Steph Curry has played in this series.

With Kevin Durant going off, Rockets have suddenly wiped off that lead and could be going into the final quarter with a slender lead.
