The wouldnt really rehab from calf strain . You allow it to rest. His last workout suggested he wasnt ready. The calf is related to Achilles because it attached so for them to say he couldnt make it worse isnt true. Its a weakpoint. They probably meaning the calf part.
Ive fully ruptured my achilles playing competive ball. Got a nice new thick one now. Not a medical expert but an expert in this typy of injury. If its partially torn, it can repair itself but requires alot of time to heal as in out for the playoffs. You always go down that route because it can heal from partial tears and surgery is the last resort. They seemed to be concentraing on the calf part. Thats the grey area. No doubt, Durant took a massive risk to play on it.

Look at the huge difference between Durant and Leonard:
Durant wanted to take the court even if he was still injured because he wanted to be out there for his teammates. What a warrior.
Leonard didn't want to take the court even though he had been cleared by doctors months in advance because he didn't want to risk losing the supermax. What a pussy.
Either way, end of the road for the current GS Warriors
Question is,
WHO SHALL EMERGE FROM THE APOCALYPSE??????????
I just have this sneaky feeling that.............
the Pop Man shall have the last laugh, hahahahahahahahah
POPOVICHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHANGE IS ENDEMIC IN THE COSMOS!
Who is the girl that used to be in your avatar?
Funny and untrue as it may be, it's exactly what the media is selling and what people generally believe at the moment. KD's injury has reinforced that public perception tenfold.

The Warriors are already in damage control mode. And Leonard's situation is very different. No comparison.
Kevin is not a toddler. He makes up his own goddamn mind. If he was playing for the Knicks it would’ve been the same thing. He decides what he wants to do.
Rush him back? He basically sat on his ass for seven months.
Is there an NBA ruling when a player can sit out? Is it ultimately up to the player? In KD’s case, he opted to play with the team doctor’s consent, he ended up injuring his weakened achilles. His free agency is jeopardized, and maybe his career. AI played injured and Celtics didn’t extend contract and lost millions. Kawhi, team doctor okayed but seeked outside doctors, finally found a doctor to declare him still injured, asked to get traded on his last year, missed 22 games and 1 game away from another ring, on the verge of becoming number 1 player, supermax contract, basically has complete control of his career. I hate what he did, but man, he seemed to have done GREAT in retrospect. I mean if KD didn’t push it, maybe they don’t ring this year, but still has teams lining up this summer. Injured or not, was the right thing to do was not play to be on the safe side?

can’t really compare KY to KD as Pop was telling KY to sit out year because of injury
Leonard would have been ok if he didn't do the hide and distort thing. If the Spurs could have apologized then the situation would have been resolved but, Uncle did what Uncle does
The 2018 rush kathi back narrative is bunk, but the 2017 Houston/golden state series are similar. Kawhi cleared, gets zaza'd. Obv you can't prevent zaza injuries, but the timing looks like reinjury
KD did the old school warrior thing, but shouldn't have. It is one thing to play through pain and joint wear, and the other to play with a injury that actually urges recovery.
This does not change Kawhi's case unless it was the same, a player who went through more than the recovery time, was cleared, but kept looking for more opinions and thought he shouldn't play.
It's ultimately up to the head coach. He's the one who puts players on the injury list, and he decides who's active for the game. The head coach is also the one who decides about any minutes restriction during the game.
After the docs said ok, and KD claimed he felt good to go, it was then Kerr who made the fateful decision.
Kawhi's case should never be mentioned in the same sentence as KD's case. KD's case was serious , lets not rehash old stuff about what a joke Kawhitters case was.
On the topic, media will treat them well. Better than the Spurs even though it is easier to think KD should have stayed out
