“This is a little more complicated frankly,” said Joe Lacob, Golden State’s lead ownership voice.

“Complicated” is one way to describe it. “Devastated,” truth be told, was the more fitting adjective for the looks on the faces of Lacob, Coach Steve Kerr and Bob Myers, Golden State’s president of basketball operations, after they witnessed the second catastrophic injury absorbed by a Warriors star in four days.

On Monday, Durant ruptured the Achilles’ tendon in his right foot. On Thursday, Klay Thompson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Both were playing as well as they ever had in the playoffs when they were felled.

On June 30, both will become free agents who can command in excess of $400 million combined if they both get five-year maximum contracts from Golden State. The Warriors have planned all along to try to sign both to max deals and may go ahead with maxes in both cases. Yet it’s virtually certain that Durant and Thompson will each miss the bulk of next season, if not all of it, rehabbing from the major setbacks they just suffered.

It’s why you resisted the urge to paint Leonard’s moment of triumph as the ultimate last-laugh ending to a season that began with video of Leonard’s awkward cackle on media day going viral. Giddy as all of Canada surely is for its Raptors, there just can’t be much laughter after what the Warriors endured. The team so many thought had wrecked the league last July when it added DeMarcus Cousins to its four All-Stars was in tatters.

“Just brutal,” Kerr said.

“The last week,” Lacob said, “has just been like a nightmare.”

In the same hallway outside the Warriors’ locker room three years earlier, Lacob was dropping confident hints about Golden State’s forthcoming pursuit of Durant — without saying Durant’s name. The caution coming from Lacob late Thursday was unmistakable when I asked him about his confidence level when it comes to re-signing Durant.

“We’ll find out,” Lacob said.

The extent of Thompson’s injury wasn’t publicly known at that point, but it wasn’t long before it became clear that the closest thing to a sure thing in basketball over the past five years is suddenly caked in uncertainty to go with all the sadness. Stephen Curry surely understood it as he headed from his locker stall to the postgame showers — judging by how hard he slapped a wall adjacent to the bathroom with his open hand.
