Kevin Durant gave everyone quite the scare when he appeared to have injured his Achilles during the closing minutes of the third quarter. The Golden State Warriors superstar exited the game and headed straight to the locker room as everyone held their breath.

As such, Durant's incident elicited a blaze of reactions on Twitter.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart, Portland Trail Blazers star CJ McCollum and Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell are just some of the players who offered prayers for Durant. The injury was thought to be a torn Achilles before the Warriors confirmed it was a right calf strain, though it still ruled KD out for the rest of the match.

In the event that Durant misses a few games, then it'll be a big blow to the Warriors. After all, the Rockets have proven to be a dangerous foe. Though they still have Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and the rest who can fill the void, Durant's services are irreplaceable.
