Kevin Durant won't play in Saturday's Game 3 versus the Portland Trail Blazers due to a left calf strain, the team announced.

He was upgraded to questionable Friday after returning to practice.

It will mark the second straight absence for Durant, who also sat out Wednesday's 110-81 victory.

The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed earlier this week that he'd be in uniform if it were a Game 7-type scenario.

Durant won't be the only member of the Warriors to miss Saturday's contest, as Kerr has been forced out of Game 3 with an illness.
