Durant questionable Friday vs. Kings with rib injury
The Golden State Warriors' injury list continues to grow.
The team listed Kevin Durant as questionable for Friday's contest against the Sacramento Kings with right rib soreness.
The superstar forward suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the few healthy bodies available for the Warriors at the time, he carried them to a 117-106 victory with a game-high 26 points to go along with six assists, five boards, two steals, and a block in 35 minutes.

Durant's had to step up given the injuries decimating the roster. He could now join fellow All-Stars Klay Thompson (thumb) and Stephen Curry (ankle) on the sidelines along with Patrick McCaw (wrist), while Jordan Bell (ankle), Quinn Cook (hand), and David West (arm) are all listed as probable for the tilt.
The 2014 MVP is averaging 26.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.9 blocks over 60 games for the No. 2 Warriors. If he cannot suit up against the Kings, the candidates to pick up his minutes are Andre Iguodala, Omri Casspi, and Nick Young.
