OAKLAND — Kevin Durant is a scratch for tomorrow\’s Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Head coach Steve Kerr revealed the news to reporters after the Golden State Warriors practiced at the Oracle Arena on Thursday afternoon (early morning Friday in the Philippines).

\”Kevin will not play tomorrow. He will continue to get treatment and get on the court and continue to work but will be unavailable for Game 4.\”

Apparently, it wasn\’t the head coach\’s decision to make.

\”It\’s about when the training staff tells me he\’s ready. He\’s been doing individual work on the court, he\’s been in the training room, in the weight room. He\’s been doing lots of different things, training staff said he\’s not ready to play in a game yet, so that\’s all,\” explained Kerr.

As for Klay Thompson, it\’s a green light. But…..

\”Klay will plan on playing tomorrow. So we expect him to play, barring something unforseen. He\’s continued to improve and so that\’s good news,\” Kerr added.

Up until yesterday\’s Game 3, which the Toronto Raptors won, 123-109, Thompson had played in 120 consecutive playoffs games. With the other half of the Splash Brothers back, the Warriors offense will get a major boost as Steph Curry had to carry the bulk of Golden State\’s offense in Game 3 with 47 points.

Already missing the services of Kevon Looney, and big man DeMarcus Cousins still struggling to find his range after a quad injury that sidelined him for months, the Warriors will need more bodies to step up to avoid facing a 3-1 deficit in this best-of-seven championships.

Jordan Bell, a 6-foot-9, 224-pound forward is among the reserves expected to inherit Durant\’s playing minutes.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.
