Kevin Durant did all he could to help the Golden State Warriors get back in their series against the Toronto Raptors before he suffered an apparent Achilles injury on Monday night, and his mother hopes that will be a lesson to those who have questioned Durant’s passion.

On Tuesday morning, Wanda Durant took to Twitter to blast Durant’s critics in the wake of the latest injury.

For ALL of you who question my son as a Man, question his Heart, question his Integrity and question his LOVE for the game of basketball, you DON’T know him. He has a heart of a true Warrior! This too shall pass. God Bless you ALL. pic.twitter.com/y0qcQ5Boga

— Wanda Durant (@MamaDurant) June 11, 2019

Durant has a very close relationship with his mother, and she has always been one of his most outspoken supporters.

The Warriors reportedly fear that Durant suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Game 5. They will now have to answer questions about whether or not they cleared Durant to return too early, and some comments Steve Kerr made before and after Golden State’s comeback win are not the best look for the team.
