Xinhua News Agency, Washington, May 27, NBA Golden State Warriors coach Cole said in an interview on the 27th that team forward Kevin Durant was not sure to miss the first game of the finals due to leg injury.
Durant accidentally injured his right leg and missed the subsequent match in the fifth game of the Warriors’s Western semi-final against Houston Rockets. However, the Warriors still won the series against the Rockets in the sixth game and swept the Portland Trail Blazers into the finals.
“KD (Durant) will not play in the first game of the finals.” Cole said in an interview after the team training on the 27th. “We will continue to observe the situation. The interval between the finals is relatively long, which is helpful to us.”
Cole said that he had not yet decided whether to let Durant go to Toronto with the team. He said that Durant had already started to do some shooting exercises, but did not carry out full-load training.
