KD told Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports
Hell, no. How can you blame [the Warriors]? Hell, no!

Nobody never said a word to me during rehab as I was coming back … Right when the series started, I targeted Game 5.
Kevin points out:
Hell, nah. It just happened. It’s basketball. Sh*t happens. Nobody was responsible for it. It was just the game. We just need to move on from that sh*t because I’m going to be back playing.
