The Warriors told Durant that he wasn’t risking the Achilles by playing on an injured calf, and that his calf and Achilles injuries were possibly unrelated. That they actually believe this beggars belief; the Achilles and calf are connected, so obviously strain on one could have deleterious effects on the other. But that’s exactly what the Warriors insisted publicly. After Durant’s second injury, coach Steve Kerr said that “our feeling was the worst thing that could happen would be a re-injure of the calf.” Again, this seems ridiculous, but the report that Durant is angry sure makes it sound like the Warriors were telling him the same things they’ve been telling the media.
