Kevin Durant: (Foot) Taking Jump Shots

Durant (foot) is not dealing with any pain and has begun taking jump shots, although he's still unable to run and cut, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Durant's recovery seems to be right on track as he's still in line to play when the season starts anew in late October. In the meantime, the former MVP has a date set for Aug. 1 when he'll be able to resume full basketball activities. While his current status seems encouraging, the final two months of his recovery will be the determining factor of his value heading into the final season of his current contract with the Thunder.
