Back in the OKC Thunder lineup after missing 17 games due to a foot fracture. Kevin Durant made is season debut on the road in New Orleans, notching 27 points in a 104-112 loss to the Pelicans. Per ESPN:
“I just got to keep putting together good days and I’ll keep getting back to where I want to be,” Durant said. “To get back to midseason form like I want to be is going to take some time. No excuses for me. I’m out there; I got to play hard as I can no matter what and I got to go out there and be the best leader and player I can be.”
