Durant worked out with Warriors assistant Steve Nash earlier on Tuesday, which seems to show he is ready to return.

Durant returning for Golden State would be big because Steph Curry is out with a knee injury and Klay Thompson is out with a thumb injury. The Warriors have accepted that they will be the No. 2 seed in the West, but they want their players healthy for the postseason.
