Watch: Kevin Durant says he 'got a boo boo playing basketball'

Kevin Durant still appears to be optimistic for a playoff return.

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant is expected to miss an extended period of time with a knee injury and there is no timetable for his return, he told ESPN's Chris Haynes and other reporters on Tuesday night.

"I got a boo boo playing basketball, so I'm OK," Durant said.
