Kevin Durant confronted the Sacramento Kings’ public address announcer over a comment he made during Saturday night’s game.

Durant was treated for a cut on his left arm late in the first quarter of the game. The PA announcer said that there was an “infectious disease” stoppage, prompting Durant to do a double-take and ask what was said.

The Golden State Warriors star apparently found it humorous the next time the announcer used the same term.
