Durant will participate in non-contact parts of practice on Saturday, the Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Durant continues to progress from the stress fracture in his foot. He was able to rid himself of his walking boot about a week ago and was shooting jumpers before a few of the games recently. He'll be re-evaluated in the coming week, but it's very good news for the Thunder organization that Durant will be able to participate, even in a limited, non-contact portion of practice.
