Why Kevin Durant's Achilles Tendon Was His Achilles Heel

You can watch Kevin Durant’s Achilles tendon rupture in gif form, if you want. It’s all over the internet—the Golden State Warriors’ scoring machine bounces the ball between his legs in an attempt to get past Serge Ibaka of the Toronto Raptors, pushes off his right leg and pivots on his left, showing Ibaka his back … and when Durant puts his weight back down after the turn, something’s wrong. He has felt a pop, like getting hit in the back of the leg. Durant limps off the court.
He’d later report on Instagram that yes, his right Achilles tendon had ruptured, that he had gotten surgery to repair it, and that he wouldn’t be playing basketball for a while.
