    I hate being a fan of this cursed fucking franchise

    I hope it’s nothing, but that looked like ~~hyperextension~~.

    Edit: Much more knowledgeable people weighed in: “Hyperextension is when straight and then bends of non normal direction. Think of Giannis knee injury, that’s hyper extension.

    Here KD knee is bent, that’s flexion. It’s likely an MCL sprain since his knee was in flexion and had an outside force (butler) fall into his knee. The knee bends and caved inwards, which can strain the MCL ligament.”

  5. Didn’t look horrible. Hoping it isn’t serious

  6. Realistic_Camp5232

    Dang, think he hit it twice once on a Lowry charge then this

  7. Never_enough_Dolf

    How does this happen literally every year, back to back years of KD having someone fall on him during a hot streak

  8. how come the heat commentators keep saying KD’s on the bench and keep bringing stats bout how KD and kyrie has x amount of points. did they not realise he got injured? tf going on is he on the bench or he hurt or what?

  11. TheWolfInAllStreets

    He fr needs some kind of leg armor THIRD time this bullshit happens because someone fell on him

  12. big_hon3y

    Hopefully just a sprain or something. Mannn

  13. QuestionEntirety

    Shit, really hope it’s nothing serious

  14. KobeFadeaway248

    The moment I saw him pray and walk straight back…. Ugh.

    Damn again? That’s unfortunate. Injuries suck. I guess the Nets are going to have to lean heavily on TJ taking up some of KD’s shots until KD is back healthy, since TJ has proven he can put up 20ppg when given the usage. It’s not ideal but it’s something. Most importantly, let’s hope this injury isn’t anything too serious and KD is back asap. Hope it’s a speedy one for him.

  16. This shit is so sad man. Please be okay KD. Dude doesn’t deserve all these injuries.

  17. RylanKura

    Fuck. Last season he was playing like an MVP too and then got injured. I hope this isn’t serious.

  18. Pls be ok, this is the 3rd year in a row he got injured nearing the ASG

  19. AgentWeeb001

    Damn yo…hope KD recovers quickly. Rest him for 2 weeks and get that knee extra protection with a knee brace and shit. Got to protect this man.

    He stayed on the court for a couple possessions before asking off. Hope it is not serious 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    What puzzles me here is that Durant is watching Jimmy the whole time (until the last second) and just doesn’t move a muscle. Even if Jimmy had managed to stay on his feet, his shoulder and head would’ve plowed into Durant’s face/chest. The usual reflex when you see 230 lbs of human flying at you is to step aside and/or put your hands up to protect yourself. Maybe it’s the angle or something, but it sure looks like Durant’s survival instincts just ghosted him.

    Hope the injury isn’t serious – dude has been through enough.

  22. Extremely disappointing to see this again. My hope is that its not a major injury. KD was playing some of the best basketball we ever saw. Please dont be serious.

  23. macklowe

    JV was upbeat in his post-game press conference and indicated that the MRI tomorrow is precautionary. That, and the fact KD continued to play for a couple possessions, is a good sign. But we won’t be able to completely breathe until tomorrow …

    Please be fine I do not want another fucking jokic mvp his fans will drive me to suicide
