OAKLAND — As rumors swirled on the extent of the lower leg injury he sustained in the second quarter of Game 5 last Tuesday, Kevin Durant turned to Instagram to set the record straight.

\”I did rupture my Achilles. Surgery was today and it was a success,\” the Golden State Warriors superstar announced and posted a photo of himself at a hospital bed in the Hoag Orthopedic Institute in New York where he is presently recuperating.

There is no definite timetable for the return of the two-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Finals MVP, but Dr. Alan Beyer, an orthopedic surgeon, told reporters that the entire process could take between eight to 12 months.

\”My road to recovery starts now! I got my family and loved ones by my side and we truly appreciate all the messages and support people have sent our way. Like I said Monday, I\’m hurting deeply but I\’m OK. Basketball is my biggest love and I wanted to out there that night because that\’s what I do. I wanted to help my teammates on our quest for a three-peat,\” Durant added.

Durant was already nursing a calf strain when he ruptured his Achilles as he attempted to blow by Toronto Raptors big man Serge Ibaka. After plating his feet for a rapid burst, Durant\’s right leg buckled under the strain and he immediately crumpled on the floor of the Scotiabank Arena.

Meanwhile, the 2019 NBA Finals resumes Friday morning (Philippine time) with Game 6 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland where the Warriors hope to force a Game 7 against the Raptors, who are eyeing their first-ever NBA title.

Game 7, if necessary, is Monday morning at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
