The 30-year-old Warriors star has yet to return to practice, coach Steve Kerr told reporters Wednesday. Durant has already been ruled out for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Raptors. “His next step is individual court work, so that will be the next priority over the next couple of days,” Kerr said. “Hopefully he can wrap that up, and then he’s going to have to practice.

While Durant has long been a midrange assassin, he’s kicked his efficiency from that distance to a terrifying level to start the 2021-22 season. According to NBA.com, he has made — wait for it — 59.7 percent of his shot attempts from midrange to start this season. You probably don’t need me to tell you how impressive that is, but for some perspective: Durant is one of 81 players who have attempted at least 15 shots from midrange through the first three weeks of the season....

Durant, one of the greatest players the game has ever seen, reportedly listed the Suns and Heat as two preferred landing spots, but his standing as one of the best players in the league today means that other teams will inevitably do their due diligence to see if they have a shot to make a deal.

“If Kevin McCarthy is truly the leader of his [conference], he would stop paying lip service and use his RNC speech—and his wallet—to stop the dangerous movement of QAnon from creeping into the halls of Congress,” Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Newsweek.

Only 16,778 supporters attended Victory’s 2-1 loss to Adelaide United at Etihad Stadium, an effort that was easily the club’s worst of the season against a team missing arguably their best player in Danish winger Johan Absalonsen and Algerian playmaker Karim Matmour, who decided to depart permanently....
