Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant is expected to miss the entire 2019-20 season after undergoing surgery for a ruptured right Achilles tendon, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The two-time NBA Finals MVP and 2014 regular-season MVP revealed the severity of his injury in an Instagram post Wednesday, two days after getting hurt during the Warriors’ Game 5 win over the Toronto Raptors. It was his first game in more than a month after being sidelined with a right calf strain.
Despite the news, Wojnarowski cited league sources indicating that the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks remain interested in signing soon-to-be free agents Durant and Kyrie Irving into max salary slots.
