Kevin Durant left last night’s Warriors-Wizards game after hyperextending his left knee and will undergo an MRI on Wednesday.
The injury happened when Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat went up for a defensive rebound and pushed Zaza Pachulia into Durant’s leg during the first quarter of Tuesday night’s game in Washington.
Durant was only in the game for 93 seconds until his injury, taking just one shot, ending his streak of 562 regular-season games in which he scored at least 10 points.

According to ESPN’s Ethan Strauss, a Warriors source told him that the team does not believe that Durant suffered a tear:

The only thing that could realistically prevent the Warriors from winning the championship in an injury to their stars, and hopefully this is it. Durant is averaging 25.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game during the 2016-17 season.
