For the first time since suffering an MCL sprain against the Washington Wizards on February 28, Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant will make his return on Saturday night. The forward will be getting some games in before Golden State begins the playoffs next weekend. His first game will come at home against the New Orleans Pelicans.
It’s also the perfect platform for Durant to make a statement. With Stephen Curry out for Golden State on Saturday, Durant’s going to get his opportunity to take over and show that his knee is just fine. The Pelicans’ roster will also allow him to have a chance at a big night.
