Kevin Durant Set for Seattle Return in Warriors–Kings Preseason Contest

The NBA will play its first game in Seattle in a decade this preseason, scheduling a contest between the Warriors and Kings at KeyArena on Oct. 5.

Tip-off is slated for 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

The matchup will feature a homecoming for Kevin Durant. The two-time champion spent his rookie year in Seattle before the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City following the 2007-08 season, changing their name to the Thunder in the process. Durant won Rookie of the Year in the last season of Sonics basketball, averaging 20.3 points per game.

The Kings have their own history with Seattle.
