Durant injured his hamstring in the Thunder's win over the Washington Wizards on Nov. 10. He missed most of the 2013-14 season with a broken foot after winning the NBA MVP award in 2014, but had played the first eight games of this season. In those eight games he was averaging 28.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and three assists per game.
The Thunder were 3-3 without Durant in the lineup after starting the season. Russell Westbrook took up most of the slack and is averaging 28.7 points, 10.2 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game this season. At 8-6, the Thunder are currently fourth in the Western Conference playoff standings -- the same spot they were before Durant's injury hiatus.
