Kevin Durant sat out the Thunder’s Monday night loss to the Kings with a sprained right big toe, and the expectation was that he would be out at least a few more games. But Thunder head coach Billy Donovan says he’s a go tonight against the Grizzlies:
Kevin Durant will play tonight.

A toe sprain by itself isn’t a big deal, but the fact that it’s the same foot Durant had three surgeries on last season is concerning. It’s good to see that it’s not bad enough that he has to sit out more games. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, will be without Mike Conley, who is battling some Achilles soreness.
