Report: Kevin Durant coming to Nick Collison's jersey retirement

Kevin Durant plans to be in Oklahoma City to honor a Thunder great.

Durant will return to Oklahoma City on March 20 for the retirement of Nick Collison's jersey, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Durant departed the Thunder in free agency in the summer of 2016 for Golden State and since then, the relationship between the franchise and its former centerpiece has been tepid.

That won't stop Durant from honoring Collison -- who played with Durant for nine seasons, including Durant's rookie season in Seattle before the SuperSonics franchise moved to Oklahoma City.
