Kevin Durant sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 110-97 Game 3 victory over the Spurs on Thursday evening. Durant exited with 4:36 remaining, after his ankle turned while trying to recover a lose ball. His limp appeared to be minimal as he left the court.

After the game, Durant told ESPN’s Chris Haynes that the injury isn’t serious enough to cause him to miss Game 4 on Sunday in San Antonio.
“I’m good,” Durant told ESPN’s Chris Haynes. “It’s nothing.”
Durant, who left the 110-97 victory in the fourth quarter, called it “a quick roll.”
“It didn’t completely turn,” Durant told ESPN. “I’m fine.”

Shaun Livingston turned his ankle 30 seconds later after checking in for Durant, and also headed to the locker room. He did not provide an update on his status after the game, but Steve Kerr revealed during his presser that Livingston’s ankle roll was worse than Durant’s.
