Kevin Durant re-injured his leg and Raptors players had to tell fans to stop celebrating

From the second Kevin Durant hit the ground, his face told the story. He was hurt all over again, and possibly worse than before. An emotional President of Basketball Operation Bob Myers said after the game that Durant has an Achilles injury though the extent of it is unclear.

Durant was helped off the floor as he made his way back to the locker room, a depressing scene for both teams. But as he stood up and introduced a new-found limp, some Raptors fans inexplicably cheered for his injury. That was uncalled for.

Some even waved him off the court:

Their own fans set off Toronto center Serge Ibaka and guard Kyle Lowry, who both tried to stop the crowd. Announcer Herbie Kuhn took the mic to “Shh” the crowd too.

In response, fans chanted “KD” as he walked off the floor:

What a terrible moment for what was the start of a terrific game. Durant was spectacular in his 12 minutes, scoring 11 points on five shots, including 3-of-3 from deep. A high-scoring shootout saw the Warriors sink their first five threes and Marc Gasol, Kawhi Leonard, and Pascal Siakam match their physicality on the other end.
