The Warriors forced KD to come back early? Durant himself denied: That was my own decision

Recently, the discussion about "The Warriors forced Durant to make a comeback" was very noisy. The editor has compiled some related content for bar friends to discuss.

On June 15, 2019, former NBA player Jay Williams talked about his views on the KD incident in an interview with reporters.

"I think the Golden State Warriors are responsible. KD was misdiagnosed. I know one fact, that is, the team doctor told KD that his injury was a calf muscle strain, so there was no problem with his Achilles tendon when he came on the court with an injury. I can't understand why he tore his Achilles tendon so early in the first half. I was furious at the time. He came on the court entirely because he believed the team doctor, and he didn't expect his Achilles tendon to be injured."

"On the other hand, I think the Warriors' public relations handling of this matter was terrible. Their insiders knew that KD would not be able to play until G5 and G6, but no one from the Warriors said this fact." Williams said.

On June 27, 2019, Kerr said that KD's return in G5 was a decision made by the team's medical team, KD's own medical team and third-party medical team: "At that time, our team's medical team, KD's own medical experts and third-party medical experts unanimously determined that he could play games."

"A feature of the social networking era is that everyone has become an expert on the Internet." Kerr said.

In August 2019, Nets new player Durant was interviewed by NBA famous reporter Chris Haynes. This is Durant's first interview after joining the Nets. In the interview, Durant talked about the issue that everyone has been paying attention to: Do ​​the Warriors be responsible for his injuries? Did the Warriors make a wrong judgment and handling of Durant's injury?

After waiting for a while, Durant came to the reporter. Durant smiled and said to the reporter: "I know you want some hot news, come on, I'm ready."

The reporter asked directly without hesitation: "Then let's go straight to the point. Is there anything wrong with the Warriors' handling of your injuries?"

Durant slowly straightened up from the sofa and said with a complicated expression: "Oh my God, of course not, why did you go to blame the Warriors for my injuries? Oh my God! Of course not, everything about the Warriors is handled properly."

"I listen Some rumors say that the Warriors asked me to play forcibly. But the truth is that no one has ever said something like me during my recovery. I stayed with my doctor Rick every day to deal with injuries and do recovery training. My original plan was to come back in the fifth game of the finals, and when the series reached Game 5, I made a plan as planned, but unfortunately the injury came to me again. This is basketball, bad things always happen from time to time. No one is responsible for it, this is basketball, this is the game. We have to look forward, I will definitely return to the field." Durant continued.

"No matter how the series progresses, my plan has always been to come back in G5. This is why I came back when I was 1-3 behind in the total score. I wanted to participate in the finals anyway. I just wanted to play basketball. Before I came back, I could do two trainings a day and felt good. But unfortunately, I got injured again after I got on the court. I really wanted to play, I really wanted to play this finals." Durant continued.

At the end of September 2019, at a media meeting with the Nets, Durant once again spoke publicly about his return in the finals but suffered an injury to lacerate the Achilles tendon.

Irving once spoke out for KD and said that the Warriors placed the team's interests above Durant's personal health. But Durant himself denied Irving's statement.

"When I fell down, I thought everyone wanted to protect me with their arms, whether it was my good friend or stranger, it was all like this, but I made my own decision and at the end of the day, I wanted to go on the field," Durant said.
