Brian Windhorst of ESPN is reporting that Kevin Durant will make his season debut Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.
“If Kevin Durant goes through shootaround today in New Orleans OK, doesn’t get hurt in that shootaround, the plan is for him to make his season debut tonight against the Pelicans,” Windhorst said in a video segment.
The Thunder are just 5-12 on the season and need to win 80 percent of their games the rest of the way just to guarantee the 8th seed out west.
The team looked re-energized against the Knicks during Russell Westbrook’s return.
