If Durant completely ruptured his calf then that makes sense
I've had sprains/strains on many occasions throughout life as I'm sure many/most have also.
they usually heal in about a week or two tops with ice and NSAIDs
These guys have all kinds of therapy and nutrition that we didn't have access to.
Bill Russell never missed a game and would have taped up and been in the lineup for his team.
Today's players are over paid Divas
but I think he's sitting out "for the books and league" to make this a more competitive stretched out series and a little more difficult to handicap. They gotta milk this for at least 6 games and sell more overpriced concessions before going on vacation.
If Toronto loses tonight they win next game ensuring at least a 6 game series
Just my humble opinion
