This is seriously a big blow to the Thunder’s chance of winning an NBA title this season, even with Durant & Westbrook. The team announced via their twitter account today that Serge Ibaka will miss the rest of the playoffs with an injured calf. He hurt it last night in the series clinching win over the Clippers. Most hoped it would just be something that would be fine in a few days, but after an MRI today the team confirmed they will have to do without their third star. Ibaka is a tough guy though so it won’t surprise me at all if he tries to play anyway, but there is a very high chance of more damage being done if he doesn’t rest. Other players like Reggie Jackson, Nick Collison and others will have to step up big time to help the team in his absence.
