Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant said he is going to take things “a day at a time” after suffering a mild right ankle sprain in Thursday night’s 114-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Seconds before halftime, Durant stepped on Marreese Speights’ foot and badly rolled his ankle while going hard to the basket. Durant was called for a charge on the play. He stayed on the floor as teammates huddled around him before limping off with some assistance.
“I was a little nervous,” said Durant, whose 30-point first half was the highest-scoring first half of his career. “But I knew when I got up and started walking it felt good. So I just wanted to make sure with the X-rays everything was good.”
