Warriors' Kevin Durant optimistic of playing in Game 3 vs. Blazers
Durant missed Game 2 against the Blazers with a calf injury
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant believes he will play in Game 3 of the series against the Blazers.
The Warriors leads 2-0 and Durant missed Game 2 with a calf injury.
Per ESPN, "I miss being out there with them, and hopefully I'm out there the next game. Speaking of that, I have a little calf injury," Durant said, showing his left calf wrapped with blue tape. "Unfortunate that I pulled my calf in Game 1 in the third quarter. It felt good to finish the game, but afterward it tightened up on me a little bit and I was sore for the next few days."
"It felt like I could go yesterday, but Coach Kerr and the training staff and the whole organization told me it would be best to give it a few more days of rest, so hopefully I'll see how I feel these next couple days," Durant said. "We have one more extra day before the game starts, we'll see how I feel. But I'm getting better every day. Hopefully I can be out there with my teammates grinding it out, trying to move forward and get a W in Game 3. We'll see what happens."
