As he was helped away by his teammates, the Raptors fans began to cheer and hoot in delight. Naturally, such an act, disgusted not just the Golden State Warriors, but even the Raptors players themselves. As he went off the court, a number of Warriors players and Raptors players were gesturing at the crowd to stop cheering.
Kevin Durant had been out of action for months when he injured his calf, and the Raptors game was his first piece of action. Sadly, his elation at returning to the court was shortlived when he seemingly tore his Achilles.
