Kevin Durant's status up in air for showdown against Oklahoma City Thunder

NEW YORK — The shots kept falling into the basket, as Kevin Durant moved around the court. But just because it seemed like a sure thing Durant would make a shot as he cut around the perimeter at the end of Tuesday's practice at St. John's University, it is not a sure thing Durant will play on Wednesday when the Warriors (13-4) play against the Oklahoma City Thunder (7-9).

The Warriors listed Durant as questionable because of a sprained left ankle that kept him sidelined during Sunday's win in Brooklyn. But how does Durant feel?

'I don't know,' Durant said. 'We'll see how we feel in the morning. Right now it feels good.'

Durant said the injury happened in the first quarter of Saturday's game in Philadelphia after 'I came down pretty awkward' following a dunk attempt. Still, Durant had time to recover on Sunday and the team's off day on Monday before participating in all of Tuesday's practice, though it did not include any scrimmaging. There also appears a good chance Durant would play considering this would mark his second appearance playing in Oklahoma City since leaving the Thunder as a free agent during the 2016 offseason.

'It's a regular game for me now,' Durant said. 'I learned how to tune out the crowd. I learned to tune out the (BS) and just play. Just keep it at basketball and it'll be all right.'

Durant entered a hostile environment that entailed Russell Westbrook trash talk and fan jeers during his first return last season on Feb. 11, 2017. Still, the Warriors secured a 130-114 win over the Thunder with Durant posting a team-leading 34 points while shooting 12 of 21 from the field and 3 of 6 from 3-point range. He also had nine rebounds and three assists.

'It was another game on the schedule that I wanted to have a good game on,' Durant said. 'No matter who we were playing against that night, we were trying to have a good game. Try to go out there and put my imprint on the game. That's how I try to approach it.'
