Durant will not play in Game 1, says Kerr

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant will not play in the opening game of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors tomorrow because of a calf injury, coach Steve Kerr reiterated on Monday.

Durant injured his right calf on May 8 in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets. “KD’s not playing Game 1,” Kerr said after Monday’s practice. “I think we already announced that, and we’ll see where it goes from here. This is where the fact that there’s a lot of days in between games during the finals helps us, so we’ll see.” Kerr also said that injured center DeMarcus Cousins (quadriceps) is listed as “questionable.” Cousins tore the quad muscle in his left leg in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 15.
