Golden State Warriors superstar forward Kevin Durant is out indefinitely after suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain and a tibial bone bruise Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards.

Durant will be re-evaluated in four weeks, the team said in a statement on Twitter. A regular season return has not been ruled out.

The injury occurred early in the first quarter against Washington, when teammate Zaza Pachulia fell to the ground and rolled up against Durant’s left leg. The 28-year-old immediately limped off the court and into the locker room.

Durant signed a two-year, $54 million contract with Golden State in the offseason. He leads the Warriors in points (25.3 ppg), rebounds (8.2 rpg), and blocks (1.6 bpg).

Golden State (50-10) has the best record in the NBA, and owns a four-game cushion over San Antonio for the top seed in the Western Conference.
