Why Durant's injury actually could help Warriors

Kevin Durant's left knee is injured. That much we know. The Warriors are calling it a hyperextension, which is only slightly less vague than the NHL's "lower body injury."

The extent will be revealed at some point Wednesday, via MRI. For now, we have anonymously sourced reports suspecting the worst and discussion of a usually boisterous locker room that looked like it had seen a ghost. I mean, the team even went out and signed Matt Barnes.
