Steve Kerr updates Kevin Durant's calf injury ahead of Clippers game

Kevin Durant has been sitting on 19,975 for nearly a week.

The four-time scoring champ is 25 points away from 20,000 for his career, but he's missed the last three games with a right calf strain.

So will he get a chance to reach the historic mark on Wednesday when the Warriors close out their two-game homesteand against the Clippers?

After practice on Tuesday, head coach Steve Kerr hinted at Durant taking the court Wednesday night.

"Kevin went through everything today. We had a very light practice. it was mostly mental stuff. He's getting a workout in right now. He's doing better and he's probable," Kerr said.

Durant last played on Jan. 3 against Dallas. He scored 25 points in 38 minutes. Since then, he sat out against the Rockets, Clippers and Nuggets.

"He wasn't healthy enough to play yesterday. The whole point is you go through the progression of rehab and on-the-court stuff. He didn't feel right yesterday morning and there was no way we were going to risk it. But he's feeling better today. I think he plays tomorrow, but we'll see how he feels in shootaround."

After the Clippers game, the Warriors (33-8) head out on a tough five-game road trip that takes them to Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland, Chicago and Houston.
