Oakland: Golden State star forward Kevin Durant will miss game four of the NBA Finals on Friday with a right calf injury, but guard Klay Thompson will return, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on Thursday. “It’s just about when the training staff tells me he’s ready.” The Warriors, whose latest loss came despite a career playoff high 47 points from Stephen Curry, will welcome back five-time All-Star guard Thompson, who sat out Wednesday with a strained left hamstring, ending a career run of 120 consecutive playoff games without a miss. I don’t think it would make us the clear-cut favorite anymore without him.” Even a sub-par Durant would force Toronto to widen its defensive coverage, Warriors forward Draymond Green said.
