Kevin Durant: Will not play Saturday vs. Nets

The bruise on his non-shooting hand is apparently located on his pinkie finger.
It is unclear when the injury was sustained, but it presumably occurred in
Thursday’s win over the Clippers. While the severity of the issue is unknown, it
is likely that the Warriors are exercising caution with their star small forward
in order to avoid a potential lingering issue. The absence will mark Durant’s
first of the season. Expect Andre Iguodala to pick up a majority of the work at
small forward in his place, while Patrick McCaw and Ian Clark could see some
increased minutes as well. Consider Durant day-to-day going forward.
