Kevin Durant will be back inside Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night, and though he missed the Golden State Warriors' last game due to a left ankle sprain, he intends to take the floor against his former team.

"I feel good right now," Durant told reporters after shootaround Wednesday morning, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes. "I plan on playing."

He was listed as questionable in the lead-up to game day, and was upgraded to probable before Kerr confirmed the All-NBA forward will play.

Three of Durant's six highest-scoring games last season (including his two highest-scoring games) came against the Thunder. In his lone healthy return to OKC, he went for 34 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in a 16-point Warriors win.
