A right calf strain suffered in the conference semifinals against the Houston Rockets has ruled the forward out of tomorrow's game. Injured during last week's game five win against Houston, the 30-year-old forward did not travel to for game six on Saturday, when Golden State finished off the Rockets with a 118-113 victory. A 10-time All-Star, Durant is averaging a league-high 34.2 points this postseason with 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 11 games.
