Draymond Green Did The Most Amazing Thing Just To See Kevin Durant

Warriors star Draymond Green jumped on a plane and arrived in New York to visit Kevin Durant. The information was confirmed by an NBA source.

Durant is currently in New York as he recovers from the surgery he had at the Hospital for Special Surgery. The Warriors star suffered a torn right Achilles tendon, and will probably miss the next season.

Green was accompanied by his fiancée and kids.

The Warriors lost the chance to win the title, but sources say he didn’t come to recruit Durant.

“It’s his friend,’’ the source said. “KD doesn’t have to be recruited by Draymond after being there three years.’’

Head coach Steve Kerr knows that Durant’s injury will change everything.

“The injury throws everything for a loop,’’ Kerr said. “We all want him back. We think this is a great situation for him and vice-versa. Hopefully he’s back and we’ll all give him any advice and counsel he needs. Ultimately, he’ll make his own decision. He’s earned that.”

Warriors general manager Bob Myers spoke about Durant’s contract, too.

“Those guys are highly important to us and deserve of being rewarded in the right manner. … Try to keep those guys within these walls as best you can.”

Dr. Seybold is pretty sure that Durant won’t return to the floor next season.

“The rehabilitation process following an Achilles tendon rupture can take up to one year to regain maximum push-off power, strength and range of motion of the ankle.  At this point, any continued deficits in strength compared to the uninjured side (can be up to 25-30%) are likely permanent. While there have been some examples of athletes returning to competitive play without substantial deficits in function before one year post-injury, this is generally the exception rather than the rule.

“While a preexisting calf injury or muscle strain does not necessarily imply the Achilles is unhealthy or injured, the injured muscle may lose some elasticity as it is healing. This in turn places more strain, or stretch, on the Achilles with push-off activities. As with any tendon, once the Achilles has been placed through enough stretch beyond its normal length, partial or complete tearing will occur.”
