Kevin Durant Receives Thumbs Up To Return Saturday
4 years agoBrooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant (Achilles) has been cleared to return to the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Heat after sitting out Friday due to injury management. Durant logged 50 minutes Wednesday against Cleveland, with the Nets opting to not push their MVP candidate early in his return from a torn Achilles tendon. With Durant back in the mix, it will mark the second game this season in which he will play alongside Kyrie Irving and James Harden, with all of the group retaining high-end DFS and season-long fantasy intrigue. Averaging 34.3 PPG over his last six contests, there is no indication that Durant will face any restrictions Saturday.
