SEATTLE (AP) -- Kevin Durant (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4244/;_ylt=AnqvZYMcmRFvUGyA8.SwSp6LvLYF), the second overall choice in the NBA draft, left the arena using crutches and was wearing a soft boot after spraining his left ankle late in the SuperSonics' exhibition game loss to Golden State on Tuesday night.

Many NBA observers are beginning to question whether Seattle SuperSonics (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/sea/) rookie Kevin Durant (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4244/)'s game is developing or if his often shaky shot selection is creating bad habits that will be difficult to break in coming years.
Durant's propensity for firing shots, the Sonics' losing streak and his declining shooting percentage is beginning to wear on some Sonics veterans, who believe the shooting wealth should be shared.
"Yeah, I think so," was Wally Szczerbiak (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3329/)'s response when asked if the shots could be better distributed. "The coaching staff is asking a 19-year-old to do a lot. Let's put it that way."
