Durant will have an MRI on Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

“I can walk, it’s just a little sore”, said the former National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player, who put up a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds before exiting.
Durant missed 27 matches last season after suffering an injury to his right foot that required three operations in six months.
Durant, 27, is averaging 28.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in eight games this season.
That fast start looked to be abruptly derailed 54 seconds before halftime in the nation’s capital on Tuesday. He didn’t return for the second half.
Durant will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days. I don’t want to lose my newly acquired internship, but let’s just say that the texts reeked of the anger and sorrow that comes from being a life-long ‘Skins fan. “I can get a rebound, I guarantee you”. Durant underwent three surgeries to fix the problem. The Thunder shot 52 percent from the field against the Suns to make sure it wasn’t close late.
The Thunder’s schedule is manageable while Durant is projected to be out. Serge Ibaka had his first truly monster offensive game this season, scoring 23 points while shooting 3-of-3 from three-point land.
Cavaliers 118, Jazz 114 – LeBron James tied a season high with 31 points, including 17 to spark a fourth-quarter comeback, as host Cleveland won its seventh straight.
“With this one, you only listen to the trainer”, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said in May. If he is out for an extended period of time, it won’t be anything new to the Thunder. When Arron Afflalo injured his left hamstring October 23 in a preseason game, it was categorized as a “mild strain”.
First and foremost, the Wizards hold one thing over every other potential suitor for Durant next summer: the opportunity to play for his hometown team. You’ve got a couple of guys who are known as defenders on the team, and then everybody else is looking to score. Green will serve the final game of that suspension Thursday when Miami plays host to Utah and is expected back on the practice floor on Saturday.

“They’re trying to get a lot of guys here surrounding James”, shared Durant, referring to the rumors that the Houston Rockets intend to add him to their roster, according to Houston Chronicle.
