Warriors’ Kevin Durant cleared to play vs. Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY — Warriors forward Kevin Durant has been cleared to play Wednesday night against the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said. Durant sprained his left ankle in the first quarter of Saturday's win in Philadelphia, when he came down awkwardly on a dunk attempt. He finished that game with 27 points on 11-for-20 shooting in 33 minutes, but woke up the next morning feeling sore. Durant, who is averaging 24.9 points, seven rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.2 blocks per game this season, missed Sunday's win in Brooklyn and had an off day in New York City on Monday. He went through a light practice with no problems Tuesday and had no issues at shoot-around Wednesday.
