In an interview with Logan Murdock of The Ringer, Kevin Durant reflected on how the Golden State Warriors were presented as "KD and the Warriors."

“I was expecting—and maybe that’s my fault—I was expecting the beat writers, whoever was on the beat there, whoever covered the team, to integrate me into the Warriors’ way of doing things,” he says. “Because I never tried to step outside of that and make that situation bigger and make it all about me. I just felt like I wanted to be a part of the group. There were plenty of times where obviously when it comes to media, I was separated from the group.”

Durant signed a series of short-term contract with the Warriors and by the third season, it began to appear as though he was planning on leaving. Durant moved from the East Bay to San Francisco before the final season and he was more isolated.

“For people to look at me and say I was malcontent or isolated or didn’t look happy, I’m like, ‘Yo, do you all see Klay every day? Did you all see how he walked in there?’ But that was just him and nobody ever bat an eye at him,” Durant told The Ringer. “I loved it and I picked up on some of those things and how they approach the team-building and team bond. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is more my style.’ I was just adopting what the team was already doing.

“We all had our separate lives. We all had families,” he adds. “The Bay is huge. Draymond [Green] lived an hour and a half away from me, so does Steph, so does Shaun [Livingston]. When are we getting together? We’re around each other every day on the road. I think it’s healthy when you have that level of separation, when you get at home and like, ‘All right, you all go do your thing and I’m going to do mine.’”

Durant feels the coverage of him was unfair.

“I just think I deserved a little bit more respect than that. I came out here and gave back money, sacrificed my name, and went out here and sacrificed my body every night to be the best that I can be. I just asked for a little bit more respect to wait until after the season than to badger me every day, all year with questions like that,” Durant says, referring to his free agency. “I thought it was unfair to me and the whole group to even think about anything that was going to happen after the year. It was unprofessional, in my opinion.”

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has been shut down for the remainder of the season. This mean Wiseman will miss the entirety of the 2021-22 league year. In his first two seasons, the Memphis product will have appeared in only 29 of a possible 154 games.

Wiseman originally had surgery for a torn meniscus in April of 2021. Wiseman then had a second procedure in December to clean up loose bodies from the original surgery.

In early-March, Wiseman played in three G League games for the Santa Cruz Warriors. He played more than 20 minutes in each contest. But before his scheduled fourth G League game, Wiseman suffered swelling in his surgically repaired knee.

Golden State coach Steve Kerr said Wiseman's "long-term health looks good. Knee looks sound. It's just a decision we feel makes the most sense for his own best interest."

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. In the loss, the Warriors put up just 90 points, as they fell two games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for second place in the Western Conference. Postgame, neither Draymond Green nor Steve Kerr were interested in making excuses for the Warriors poor play.

"I think we're playing soft," Green said. "We're playing stupid. We're just not playing good basketball and we're getting punked. It's hard to win a game getting punked. So that's where we are right now."

Kerr was slightly more diplomatic in his assessment.

"We have to be smarter," Kerr said. "There has to be a level of discipline and accountability, of competitive desire. And, I know these are great guys. I love these guys. I know they want to win. But we have to learn how to win. Right now we don't know how to win."

Green didn't use Stephen Curry's absence as a reason for the lack of physical play.

"This has zero to do with Steph," Green said. "Steph doesn't bring that level of physicality to the game, nor should he. That's not his job."

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry believes he'll be back by Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Curry is currently out with a sprained left foot. He was injured in a game against the Boston Celtics last week.

When asked about his recovery and return, Curry said "I'm an optimist."

Curry is currently wearing a walking boot and has a noticeable limp. Still, he said he's improving and feeling better each day.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has suffered a setback in his return to the lineup. Wiseman missed the last two Warriors practices and won't play for Santa Cruz of the G League on Sunday, as was planned.

Wiseman played in three games for Santa Cruz in the past week. Following the third game, the second-year center experienced swelling in his right knee.

This is the latest in a series of setbacks for Wiseman that have kept him out for the entire NBA season. Each time Wiseman has ramped up his activity, he's had pain or swelling and had to back off. With just 12 games remaining in the Warriors season, it's increasingly likely Wiseman won't play for Golden State this season.

Stephen Curry will be reevaluated in two weeks following an MRI on his sprained left foot ligament.

Curry suffered the injury in the second quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics.

The Warriors are hopeful Curry will be ready in time for the playoffs. 

Stephen Curry is out indefinitely with a sprained ligament in his left foot. Curry was injured on Wednesday against the Celtics when his foot got rolled up under Marcus Smart when Smart dove for a loose ball.

In the moments after the play, Steve Kerr yelled at Smart that it was a dirty play. Following the game, Kerr and Smart talked and both agreed there was nothing intentional by Smart on the play.

Golden State hopes Curry will be able to return in time for the start of the playoffs in mid-April.

Stephen Curry had an MRI on his left foot after getting hurt on Wednesday night vs the Boston Celtics. Curry was injured when Marcus Smart dove for a loose ball and Curry's foot got stuck under Smart. The results of the MRI have not been released as of Thursday morning.

When asked about Curry's status, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr shrugged and said, "We'll see." Kerr took issue with Smart's dive and yelled at the player while on the court. Later, both Kerr and Smart said they talked, and each understood where the other was coming from.

Curry initially tried to stay in the game, but ultimately limped back to the locker room. He was ruled out at halftime due to left foot pain.

The Golden State Warriors have recalled James Wiseman from the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Wiseman has appeared in three G League games, averaging 17.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.67 blocks in 20.7 minutes per game.

Wiseman is returning from a torn meniscus. 

The Golden State Warriors are going to work out recently reinstated guard Tyreke Evans. This is the second team Evans has met with since he was reinstated, following a recent meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Evans was suspended following the 2018-19 season due to violating the NBA's drug policy. Evans was reinstated in mid-February, clearing the way for a return to the league.

In his last season, Evans averaged 10.2 points in 20.3 minutes over 69 games with the Indiana Pacers. He's played for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies and Pacers during his 10-year NBA career.
