Without their star's impact on offense and defense, the Thunder could be in for some play-our-way payback from the Grizzlies.
The number one concern for the Thunder has popped back onto the screen, interrupting a long stretch almost completely devoid of injuries. Health has been as big a factor for the Thunder as player or coaching performance has been over the last few years, and Kevin Durant’s toe sprain is one of those dings that may be no big deal in a vacuum but a little nerve-wracking for those suffering from KD-foot-injury-PTSD.
The Thunder will likely be without their star tonight; we were reminded just how ordinary they can be without Durant when they lost to the Sacramento Kings at home on Monday.
