Jason Smith and Mike Harmon had on Ric Bucher to see if he had any insight as to when Kevin Durant could return from the calf strain that has kept him out of the NBA playoffs since Game 5 of the series between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. Bucher informed Smith and Harmon that he's hearing anywhere around three to six weeks. Bucher explains that Durant could miss this series with the Blazers but could be ready to go once the NBA Finals come around, but they'll have to re-evaluate.
Jason Smith reacts to Ric Bucher's news thinking Kevin Durant may not be needed against the Portland Trailblazers, but if the Warriors meet the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State may not repeat as NBA champions as this could be a match-up nightmare.
