The Golden State Warriors are looking to take control of the NBA Finals as they return home for Game 3 with the series tied 1-1, but they will once again need to do it without Kevin Durant.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Tuesday that Durant will not play on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, but he said the two-time NBA Finals MVP is “ramping up his work.”

There had been some optimism that Durant would return for Game 3, but his calf injury is still not 100 percent healed. Durant will have another two days to get healthy between Game 3 and Game 4, which will be played on Friday night.
Durant still has not been able to do much in practice, but Kerr recently downplayed the significance of that. If he’s not back by Game 4, Warriors fans may go into full panic mode.
