With just over two minutes remaining in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, everyone in Oracle Arena held their collective breath.

After making a midrange jumper, Warriors superstar grabbed his right heel, suffering an apparent non-contact injury that looked eerily similar to a torn Achilles suffered by Kobe Bryant in 2013 (against the Warriors, no less). Durant immediately exited the game and was quickly followed into the locker room by DeMarcus Cousins, who had suffered a torn Achilles himself last season.

The in-game report was that Durant had suffered a calf injury, but skepticism seemed to abound from analysts and media members because of the nature of the injury and the way that Durant reacted.

However, the Warriors were likely relieved to learn that he merely suffered a mild calf strain.

Although Durant will miss the remainder of the series against the Rockets, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is hopeful that Durant will be able to return at some point during the Western Conference finals, should Golden State close out Houston in Game 6 or a potential Game 7:

It is rather unfortunate that Durant suffered any kind of injury, especially at this juncture. The 30-year-old was in the midst of probably his greatest postseason yet, averaging a playoff career high of 34.2 points through the team's first 11 games.

And given the struggles of both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson during the Rockets series, Durant's superlative play has been the driving force behind Golden State's success:

So while Kerr is optimistic about Durant's status moving forward, his team needs to take care of business without its go-to star.
