Sources: Kevin Durant Expected to Miss Entire Western Conference Finals

Kevin Durant’s “mild” calf strain isn’t so mild after all.
The superstar forward was re-evaluated Thursday, eight days after sustaining the injury, and his recovery is slow enough that he will not join the Warriors on Friday when they travel or Portland to face the Trail Blazers in Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference finals.
Durant likely will miss the entire conference finals, according to a league source.
