Kevin Durant avoids reporters; Warriors cautious with DeMarcus Cousins ahead of NBA Finals

TORONTO _ As the Warriors took the practice court Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena Kevin Durant was nowhere to be seen and was just as invisible as the other Warriors players spread around the court for interviews.

So even though he traveled with the team here there was no chance to ask him things like what number would he like to wear for the Knicks next season. And there was no more clarity on his status for the NBA Finals beyond Game 1 _ in which he won't play.

"I think we already announced he's not playing in Game 1," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "His next step is individual court work, so that will be the next priority over the next couple of days. Hopefully he can wrap that up, and then he's going to have to practice. We have to see him in practice before he can play a game, and he hasn't practiced yet."
