Listen to NBA insider Ric Bucher discusses the impact Kevin Durant’s injury will have on free agency this summer as the Achilles injury heard ‘round the world may alter the league’s landscape for the next decade.
Bucher says he hadn't heard even a trace of chatter concerning the 10-time All-Star remaining with the Golden State Warriors, but says the last 48 hours he finally had a source in the league say he thinks Durant will stay with the Warriors because of the uncertainty of an injury that could be a lot more serious than we have been led to believe.
Check out the audio below as Ric tells Colin Cowherd that KD may have serious concerns of his ability to be ‘The Man’ next season and carry the load for a troubled team like the Nets or Knicks if his injury is serious. Bucher says KD can opt-in for a player option for next season, try to win possibly a fourth straight NBA Finals, then try free agency again in 2020.
