The Golden State Warriors took the court without their prized offseason acquisition in their second playoff game, as a left calf injury kept Kevin Durant out of the Game 2 lineup against Portland.

Durant injured his knee on the same leg in late February, forcing him to miss the Warriors' next 19 regular-season contests.

The 28-year-old was sensational in Sunday's Game 1 win, collecting 32 points on 12-of-20 shooting, 11 rebounds, two assists, and a block in 36 minutes.
