Kerr said that injured center DeMarcus Cousins (quadriceps), is listed as "questionable".
Durant injured his right calf on May 8 in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against the Houston Rockets.
Cousins tore the quad muscle in his left leg in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 15, but the injury did not require surgery.
