Golden State Warriors star forward Kevin Durant will miss at least four weeks with a sprained MCL and a bone bruise on his left leg after center Zaza Pachulia fell into him during Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.
Durant arrived back in Oakland in a wheelchair Wednesday, and KTVU had a helicopter waiting to film his return.
Sure this is a disheartening image for Warriors and NBA fans alike, but Twitter managed to bring some levity to the situation by referencing the most notable wheelchair moment in NBA history, over and over again. And it was low hanging fruit in light of Paul Pierce’s recent war of words with Warriors forward Draymond Green.
We’re sure everyone remembers Pierce leaving Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals in a wheelchair before returning to score 22 points.
Never change, Twitter.
