Kevin Durant Posts Spirited NSFW Message on Instagram After Awful Injury and Warriors' Game 5 Win

Kevin Durant attempted to return in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night, his first time in action since suffering a calf strain over a month ago. And though he lit up the Toronto Raptors in the first quarter, the 10-time All-Star went down early on in the second quarter while trying to drive to the basket and had to be helped off the floor.

The Golden State Warriors later announced that Durant suffered an Achilles injury, effectively ending his season.

The Dubs, however, would hold off a late surge from Kawhi Leonard and Co., formulating a 9-0 run in the final two minutes to force a Game 6 at Oracle Arena. And immediately following the victory, KD shouted out his teammates on Instagram in a passionate, profane manner, claiming that the win gave him "new life."

The reigning two-time Finals MVP was clearly devastated when cameras showed him leaving Scotiabank Arena in a walking boot and on crutches, but he still took the time to recruit Dub Nation and applaud his teammates.

That's class, ladies and gentlemen.

We can't even imagine what he's going through right now. To come back at less than a 100% to rally your team from a 3-1 deficit, to dominate early by scoring 11 points in 12 minutes, only to suffer a far more serious, potentially career-altering injury must be utterly gut-wrenching for Durant.

He's at least doing his best to stay motivated and support his team, which is admirable enough.
