Durant aims to go ‘full throttle’ against Pelicans (AFP)

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant says he'll aim to put thoughts of the knee injury that sidelined him 19 games aside when he returns to action against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. "I'm just going to go out there and be me," Durant told reporters after Warriors practice on Friday. Durant took part in all of Friday's training session, a day after the team issued a statement saying the small forward, who suffered a knee sprain and bone bruise in a game against the Washington Wizards on February 28, was fit to face the Pelicans.
