Despite of ruling out of NBA Finals, Durant travels with Warriors to Toronto

Golden State forward Kevin Durant reportedly is traveling with the team to Toronto, indicating he could return from his calf injury for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday. The Warriors have ruled the two-time Finals MVP out for Thursday night's series opener against the Raptors.

"KD's not playing Game 1. I think we already announced that," coach Steve Kerr said Monday after practice. "We'll see where it goes from here. This is where the fact that there's a lot of days in between games during the Finals helps us, so we'll see." Citing a league source, Yahoo Sports reported Tuesday that the 30-year-old Durant will accompany the team to Toronto.

The 10-time All-Star injured his right calf on May 8 during Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Houston Rockets. He missed the entire four-game sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers in the West finals. Durant has averaged 34.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 11 games this postseason.
