Kevin Durant is dismissing any concerns about an ankle injury.
Durant rolled his ankle late in the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. He was able to walk off the floor after turning his ankle, and he headed to the locker room with a few minutes left in the game.

After the contest, Durant shrugged off the injury concerns, telling ESPN’s Chris Haynes that he is “fine” and will be able to play on Sunday.
Kevin Durant tells ESPN “I’m good. It’s nothing” when asked about his ankle sprain. He said “it was a quick roll. It didn’t completely turn. I’m fine.” He’s a go for Sunday.

“It’s cool. I’m good,” Durant said at his postgame press conference.
The Warriors will have two days off before attempting to close out the series in Game 4 on Sunday. Durant led the Warriors with 26 points before rolling his ankle.
