Durant rehabbing injured knee

-

Golden State forward Kevin Durant is riding a stationary bike as part of his rehab from an injured left knee and leg and doing well, yet Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr says it will still be about a month before the superstar forward is re-evaluated to determine his status.

Durant returned to the Bay Area from the Warriors’ east coast road trip after getting hurt Feb. 28 in a loss at Washington. He hyperexten­ded his knee early in the 112-108 defeat and later underwent an MRI exam, which revealed a Grade 2 — or moderate — sprain in the knee as well as a bruised tibia.

Kerr checked in by text message regularly with KD, then spoke to him by phone Tuesday once the team returned to Oakland.

Wade rented out an entire Orlando Waffle House on Tuesday.

According to a story and video from TMZ, the former Miami Heat star cleared out the Orlando breakfast diner. The video shows him joined by teammates Jerian Grant and Rajon Rondo.

“My teammates said they want to go to Waffle House, so I rented out Waffle House,” Wade said on the video. “I usually don’t eat Waffle House or eat like this, but sometimes, you know, you gotta do what the guys do.”

Probation revocation sought for Ty Lawson

Colorado authoritie­s want probation revoked for Sacramento Kings point guard Ty Lawson after they say he tested positive for alcohol three times in the last six months and failed to complete required public service in a 2015 drunken driving case.

Over prosecutor­s’ objections, the former Denver Nugget was sentenced to probation rather than jail last year and ordered to remain sober. Probation officials issued a summons last week ordering Lawson to appear in court March 22 to respond to their allegation­s.

A judge will decide then whether Lawson’s probation should be revoked and whether he should be sentenced to jail instead.
