Golden State Warriors superstar small forward Kevin Durant has reportedly yet to run as he continues to recover from a right calf strain, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post.

How Durant reacts to a running session will be the big hurdle for the Warriors star. Golden State has already ruled Durant out for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, which is on Sunday. The Warriors are down 0-1 in the best of seven series.

Nevertheless, according to an NBA source, the Warriors expect Durant to return to the series and are hopeful it will be no later than Game 4 in Oakland, but have no assurances.

The NBA source said Durant, who suffered a partially torn calf muscle on May 8, has yet to run. How Durant, a free agent who is expected to eye the Knicks, reacts to a running session will be the big hurdle.
