They may have more concern for his injury than letting on. Is this any different than when KD had calf soreness, came back for the finals and tore his achilles? Wasn't that the same kind of injury? They are going to be super cautious with their franchise player. They don't want next season to be lost also. This is a tricky situation and it may be a few months before we see Luka again. Will he look like Oliver Miller by then? Who knows.
The calf is a complex muscle and the correlation between it and an achilles injury is almost non-existent. I think KD is the only one to have such a problem. I don't think GSW's medical team would have ever sent him out there if they actually thought he was at risk for one of the worst injuries you could get in sports.
Either way, this calf issue has been a lingering one for almost a year at this point and its about time Luka just sits.
