Warriors' Kevin Durant out of knee brace, still can't practice

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant has shed his knee brace, but he's still not been able to go through any portions of practice.

What It Means:

Durant told head coach Steve Kerr that he's "feeling really good," but there's not much of a takeaway here. The earliest return date seems to be the final week of the regular season, which doesn't offer much fantasy use in the majority of leagues. Andre Iguodala should continue to benefit the most with Durant out of the lineup.

Durant is currently tied with Kawhi Leonard (concussion) atop the NBA Player Power Rankings this season with a 16.6 nERD. His 27.8 percent usage rate is a career-low, but that's compensated by a career-best .651 true shooting percentage.
