Kevin Durant’s injury could have a ripple effect throughout the NBA, from the Warriors to free agency to the record books.

The Raptors are still in the driver’s seat with a 3-2 series lead, but the pressure is on as the series heads back to Oakland for Game 6.

Warriors star Kevin Durant limped off the floor with an Achilles injury and is scheduled to have an MRI exam on Tuesday.

Golden State’s Kevin Durant is listed as a game-time decision for Game 5, but a person with knowledge of the situation says he plans to play.

Injuries are front and center in the NBA Finals, and each team’s athletic training staffs are under pressure to make sure players are healthy.

The Raptors have been relentless in the NBA playoffs, but especially in this series with the Warriors. They embody guard Kyle Lowry’s dogged ethos.

Kawhi Leonard says he isn’t out for revenge for 2017, but the Warriors must feel like the Raptors star has a score to settle this NBA Finals.
