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.

Even though official league business hasn’t begun for next season, it hasn’t stopped teams from discussing parameters for trades.
One hot name: New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday. According to sources, around 10 teams are inquiring about his services and one team hot after him is the Denver Nuggets, eager to capitalize on their appearance in the West Finals.
Holiday, an All-Defense performer capable of playing both guard spots, averaged 19.1 points and 6.7 assists for the Pelicans this past season and seemingly could fit in with the Nuggets’ youth and recent experience. He’s under contract for next season with a player option for 2021-22 at $27 million, and many teams believe the Pelicans will be looking to shed some salary going into next season.
