Kevin Durant Done for the Season and So Too Are the Thunder Says Sportsbook
Forget the Playoffs, that’s what the fine folks at Sportsbook.ag say in regard to the Oklahoma City Thunder odds of making it into the post season, let alone winning a Championship.
On Friday it was revealed that Durant was removed from all team activities.
"He's not making the progress we'd hoped or expected," general manager Sam Presti said.
“While it’s all about college ball these days the news of Durant pushed the Thunder’s odds to win from 10-1 to 50-1,” Sportsbook.ag’s Matt James tells Gambling911.com. “We believe they’re going to be hard pressed to make the playoffs without a healthy Durant. He was schedule to be back on the court around this time, get back to playing shape and find a rhythm with his team and his own game. That’s definitely now out of the question. We believe his done for the year, which makes the Thunder done as well. They can’t complete in the West with a healthy Durant. Throw in Ibaka’s latest health issues, they Thunder should be and are focused on next season as this season is done.”
