You gotta think he tore it. Absolutely brutal if that is the case and the repercussions are immense.
The impression I got from Meyers was that the organization f***ed up and he knew it. Without being prompted he said that if anyone needs to be blamed it should be him. Would not be surprised to see Durant sue or something considering he's entering free agency.Honestly a scummy move from the organization to clear a guy before he was healed who only had 3 games left at most with the team.
The achillies connects your foot to your calf.Maybe I’m naive but I’m genuinely curious, if KD’s previous injury was the calf, could this Achilles injury be coincidental rather than related? I’m just not sure how this could be caused from being rushed since Myers confirmed that the previous injury was strictly a calf injury and that medical staff cleared him from the injury. Or, was KD rushed because he didn’t have adequate time to get back into game shape after after being cleared?

Guy was an absolute mess in his presser. On the verge of tears, tripping over his words or talking nonsense, and looked like a deer in the headlights.
I appreciate that, and should have added that The Achilles is connected right below the calf, but I think that’s why the question was asked directly to Myers in the presser I’d the injury was solely to the calf, which Myers replied saying “yes”. It seemed like the reporter was trying to find out if this new injury was related to the previous one, which again, Myers was clear in answering no.The achillies connects your foot to your calf.
Why? I have little doubt the team doctors put the organization put the team's goals over the health of their patient.Durant would have no legal basis to do that and if he does try such nonsense then Meyers should sue him for legal costs for bringing a frivolous lawsuit
I think it's just that when one part of your leg is injured, the other parts will be subjected to more stress.I appreciate that, and should have added that The Achilles is connected right below the calf, but I think that’s why the question was asked directly to Myers in the presser I’d the injury was solely to the calf, which Myers replied saying “yes”.

Of course, only now. Not 2 years ago when Isaiah Thomas ruined the rest of his career for the sake of an organization that didn't give a shit about him.Saw someone from the media tweet that Kawhi Leonard has now been vindicated with this KD injury over Kawhi's handling of his own injury.
With that, and now KD, have to think superstars are going to take even longer to return from injuries now. Rightfully so, this is their livelihood. No championship is worth potentially ruining the rest of your career over.
Yeah, Kawhi Leonard was "cleared", too.Of course, only now. Not 2 years ago when Isaiah Thomas ruined the rest of his career for the sake of an organization that didn't give a **** about him.
On another note, putting blame for this on anyone is stupid af. He was cleared, he had all the information, he decided to play. **** happens sometimes.
Obviously there should be massive repercussions, but the bigger question is, Will the warriors face any at all?
The league is a funny thing sometimes. An owner gets $500,000 fine and can't even enter the stadium he owns, but the organization they rushes it's player back could get off Scot free.
I'm actually just as upset with the warrior's team doctor(s) here that cleared Durant, even though he obviously wasn't ready. Something fishy there that most doctors would lose a license for.

KD's at least a guy who will get a max contract regardless of injury, has already made a pretty penny in his career and has a gigantic shoe deal to compensate for any lost dollars.
