Watch: Kevin Durant confronts PA announcer over ‘infectious disease’ comment
Kevin Durant confronted the Sacramento Kings’ public address announcer over a comment he made during Saturday night’s game.
Durant was treated for a cut on his left arm late in the first quarter of the game. The PA announcer said that there was an “infectious disease” stoppage, prompting Durant to do a double-take and ask what was said.

The Golden State Warriors star apparently found it humorous the next time the announcer used the same term.

As he’s shown many times in the past, Durant can rarely let things go. His reaction probably should not be regarded as a surprise.
