After being held out of the first four games of the NBA Finals with a right calf strain, Kevin Durant suited up for Game 5.
However, after scoring 11 points in 12 minutes, Durant went to the locker room after injuring his right leg. He was later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Kevin Durant has a right lower leg injury. Out the rest of tonight. MRI tomorrow
