<p>During Tuesday night&#8217;s game vs. the #WashingtonWizards, #GoldenStateWarriors forward, #KevinDurant hyperextended his knee. MRIs later confirmed that he had a sprained MCL and a bone bruise on his left leg. He is going to miss at least four weeks of practice and games, so the Warriors have enlisted the help of #MattBarnes!<br />
According to #ESPN, Barnes signed a rest-of-the-season contract and is thrilled to be back at Golden State. &#8220;It&#8217;s a dream come true!&#8221; he told Marc J. Spears of #TheUndefeated. &#8220;I feel like I helped start something in &#8217;07, and now I&#8217;m coming back to help finish it.&#8221; Barnes was on the Golden State roster from 2006-2008. ;</p>
<p>Upon learning of the trade on Tuesday, Barnes said that this was the best day of his life. ;</p>

<p>&#8220;Sources said Golden State, to make roster room for Barnes, will be forced to abandon its plans to sign Jose Calderon on Thursday after Calderon clears waivers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Congratulations, Matt and get well soon, Kevin!!</p>
