The Golden State Warriors finally had Kevin Durant back, but now they might be without him again. Durant has a calf strain, and is questionable for Game 2 vs. the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.

Apparently, Durant suffered the injury during Game 1 -- in which he scored 32 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while playing 36 minutes -- and did not practice Monday.

This is the same leg Durant injured earlier this season with an MCL sprain and bone bruise in February.

Along with Durant, two other Warriors, Shuan Livingston (finger) and Matt Barnes (ankle/foot sprain), are also questionable, which could leave Golden State quite shorthanded on the wing. 

While the Warriors will want Durant back as soon as possible, you have to imagine they're going to play this one safe. Despite how well Portland played in Game 1, the Warriors should be able to handle the Trail Blazers even if Durant is out for a few games -- especially considering how well they were playing toward the end of Durant's absence. 

But as they get deeper into the postseason, Golden State is going to need its All-Star forward back, and at full strength, so there's no need to risk aggravating what seems to be a minor muscle strain by rushing Durant into action when he's not ready.
