Durant Claims No Warning on Calf Strain Leading to Achilles Tear

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant recently disclosed that he was not informed his calf strain during the 2019 NBA Finals could escalate into a torn Achilles, an injury he ultimately suffered in Game 5. Speaking on Fred Van Vleet's podcast, Durant stated he would have made a different decision if he had been aware of the risk. He had previously missed the entire Western Conference Finals and the first four games of the NBA Finals due to the calf issue.
