Kevin Durant: Will return to action Monday
Durant (hamstring) will return to action Monday in Utah.
Analysis:
This is welcome news for Durant, who has missed the previous six games since suffering the hamstring injury in a Nov. 10 game against the Wizards. The Thunder were being cautious with their star forward in order to avoid a nagging injury, so with Durant being deemed ready to play Monday, it's assumed he'll see a normal workload. Before being sidelined, Durant was averaging 28.1 points, 7.3 boards, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.6 triples over 35 minutes per game.
