The NBA analyst Charles Barkley blames the Golden State Warriors for Kevin Durant’s injury during Game 5 of the NBA Finals, per Bleacher Report:
“You’ve been asking these guys all morning if there’s somebody to blame. Yes, there is somebody to blame – the Golden State Warriors for putting KD out there. Listen, that was not right. If you go back and look at the last two weeks – the article comes out, KD’s worst nightmare that the Warriors are winning without him. Then you come out, you read the articles, the Warriors are really unhappy that KD won’t risk his Achilles, they’re frustrated with KD. Now this man has to be feeling some type of way, so I blame the Warriors for KD getting hurt, and I don’t care what they say about it. They shouldn’t have put that man out there. You know how I know it? Because he blew out his Achilles.”
