Kevin Durant (knee) eyeing Saturday return for Warriors
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (knee) is reportedly looking to get back on the court Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Durant will return to the starting lineup upon return, but head coach Steve Kerr has already stated he will be on a strict minutes limit. He's not the best pickup with fantasy championships on the line. Andre Iguodala, Patrick McCaw and Matt Barnes will all see less opportunity for those final three games of the regular season.
During a Durant-less March, Iguodala saw his usage rate climb up to 14.5 percent while he averaged 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 3-pointers across 14 games. His 5.2 nERD this season is inside the NBA's top-40.
