After what was potentially a 2018 NBA Finals preview on Saturday night with the Golden State Warriors' 109-105 victory over the Boston Celtics, superstar forward Kevin Durant was asked about a devastating injury that occurred earlier that day to one of his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates in Andre Roberson.

During the third quarter of the Thunder's 121-108 win against the Detroit Pistons, Roberson appeared to slip and fall on a wet spot and had his left leg buckle.

“It's sickening. Just seeing Dre's [injury] in the locker room. Somebody I got to spend so much time with, got to know, somebody I call family. It's tough to see because you work so hard. He had a couple nagging injuries that he continued to push through and kept getting better as a player and get more confident,” Durant said of Roberson.

Durant believes that Roberson will be able to bounce back and make a full recovery.

“I know his heart, I know his strength and I know he's going to want the team to keep fighting and get better as quickly as possible,” Durant said. “I know he's got such a huge support system with his family there around him. I'm looking forward to seeing him back on the court again. My prayers are up for Dre.”

A video of Durant's postgame press conference, which was posted to Twitter by Anthony Slater of The Athletic, can be viewed below:

Roberson's scary injury happened just one day after New Orleans Pelicans star center DeMarcus Cousins ruptured his left Achilles tendon in the final minute of a game against the Houston Rockets.
