Wow, how unfortunate are the Warriors? First Durant with a ruptured achilles (after returning from a calf strain, even though he wasn’t ready), and now Klay tears his ACL, after playing with a sore hammy.

2 big time players missing from their team next year.

I wonder what they plan to do now?

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

Sometimes freak injuries occur. You could see the awkward angle of his knee when Klay landed and there's no reason to assume that a previous hamstring injury led to the ACL tear. Even with Durant, maybe the calf strain led to the Achilles tear and maybe it didn't. Unless there was a contrary opinion about KD that was ignored, which I don't think is true, I don't think you'll see any repercussions for the medical staff.

Frankly, I was shocked. Reminded me of the shortened careers of Bird, and McHale (all those extended back to back to back seasons).

Those players/team deserves it considering the run they've been on. I'm interested in seeing how Curry lights it up without those guys for most of next year. Might see MVP Curry back again.
