Kevin Durant isn’t expected to return from an MCL sprain until early February.
Warriors fans haven’t been able to shower Durant with woos or boos in his return to the Bay since his unceremonious departure, though any distaste about his decision to leave should’ve gone out the window this summer. Led by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson in conjunction with a supporting cast of Kevon Looney, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole among others, the Warriors made it back to the league’s highest ground and were crowned champions for a fourth time in eight years.
Even still, though, Curry told Rolling Stone Magazine this summer the Warriors would welcome Durant back if it made sense when rumors swirled after the former MVP requested a trade out of Brooklyn last offseason. Curry continued to say he was “never hesitant” when considering a possible reunion with Durant, whom the Warriors star said is a “really good dude” who’s “misunderstood.”
Golden State hasn’t been able to garner much traction since that Brooklyn beatdown, though coach Steve Kerr hopes the team’s impressive, shorthanded win in Cleveland Friday to close out a 3-2 road trip could be the jolt the Warriors have been searching for.
