(The Sports Xchange) - Golden State Warriors star forward Kevin Durant may return for Saturday's home game against the New Orleans Pelicans provided he doesn't experience any setbacks after missing at least 17 games with a left knee injury. Durant, in his first season with the Warriors, was diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and a tibial bone bruise in his left knee after sustaining the injury on Feb. 28 against his hometown Wizards in Washington. The Warriors reportedly targeted Saturday's game as Durant's return date, and he is expected to play in the team's final three regular-season games per ESPN.
