Kevin Durant's replacement undecided for Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant's replacement has yet to be decided while he is sidelined with a hamstring injury, says head coach Billy Donovan.
Durant (hamstring) will be on the sidelines for at least the next week, with Dion Waiters, Kyle Singler and Anthony Morrow as the most likely options to replace him. Singler replaced Durant on Tuesday, but Waiters played the most minutes. Waiters and Morrow both offer some appealing upside in Durant's absence.
Waiters is averaging 10.6 points and 3.6 rebounds on 48.3 percent shooting with 1.3 3-pointers made. His 4.1 nERD currently ranks 46th in the league.
