OAKLAND (KRON)–Warriors’ small forward, Kevin Durant, is returning to the game Saturday after he was sidelined due to a knee injuring back in February.
Durant’s highly anticipated comeback couldn’t have come at a better time. The team’s point guard, Stephen Curry, is forced to sit out Saturday’s game against the Pelicans because of a left knee contusion.
For tonight’s game vs. New Orleans, Kevin Durant will play. Stephen Curry (left knee contusion) is out.

Durant is optimistic about his return, but with Curry’s absence, some fans question whether the team will be able to recoup its on-court chemistry.
