“I guess there’s some speculation out there as to what’s going on,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. “But we have no news. As soon as we have some news, any updates, we’ll let you know.”
The Athletic reporter Shams Charania is reporting that Durant has traveled to New York. There, he met with doctors, who are evaluating his Achilles injury.
“He’s one of the most misunderstood people,” Myers said. “He’s a good teammate, he’s a good person, it’s not fair. I’m lucky to know him. I don’t have all the information on what really the extent of what it all means until we get a MRI, but the people that worked with him and cleared him are good people, they’re good people.”
