Warriors' Kevin Durant: Participating in non-contact drills

Durant (knee) has been progressing as expected and is participating in non-contact drills with the intention to intensify his level of movement over the next several days.

Analysis:

Durant's participation in shooting, running and jumping is certainly a good sign for him and the Warriors as the playoffs loom closer. Assuming his progress continues as expected, explosive cutting and lateral maneuvers will be added to his workout over the next several days, with the possibility of contact drills and practice coming shortly afterward. He will be re-evaluated within the next seven to ten days to determine whether or not it's possible for him to return to game action during the regular season.
