Listed by the team as questionable with a left calf strain ahead of Game 2 of the Warriors’ first round matchup against the Blazers, Kevin Durant’s status is reportedly closer to doubtful, according to Sam Amick of USA Today.
With nine hours until tipoff between Warriors-Blazers, I’m told Kevin Durant’s ‘questionable’ status (calf) is probably closer to doubtful.

Durant strained the calf sometime during the first half of Game 1. Durant did not practice on Tuesday, something that head coach Steve Kerr said is a cause for concern, but that he didn’t expect Durant to miss much time. Though a calf strain is not a serious injury per say, it is the type of injury that is easily aggravated, and the Warriors will likely keep KD out as a precautionary measure, against a scrappy but overmatched Blazers team.
Shaun Livingston and Matt Barnes are also listed as questionable.
