Kevin Durant out two weeks with rib injury
The Golden State Warriors are dropping like flies.
As if being without Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, weren’t already enough, now Kevin Durant is banged up.
The Warriors announced on Friday that Durant will miss two weeks due to a rib injury. An MRI revealed an incomplete rib cartilage fracture.

Durant said he got hurt during Sunday’s game against Minnesota and he was sore. Then in Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers, he said he felt discomfort when he stretched to contest a shot. Durant continued to play through the injury but decided to get examined after feeling more soreness/stiffness.
Durant will not accompany the team on its road trip and will instead stay home to rehab.
Curry is out with an ankle injury, Thompson has a thumb injury that could keep him out several weeks, and now Durant will miss time with his rib injury. The good news is Draymond Green is returning from a shoulder injury.
