Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook return to practice

Oklahoma City Thunder duo Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook returned to practice on Monday for the first time since suffering their respective foot and hand injuries.

Durant is recovering from a stress fracture in his foot while Westbrook sustained a broken hand as the Thunder slipped to a 3-12 start to the season in their absence.

"They did participate and looked good," coach Scott Brooks told the media.

"This week, I don't know what day, they'll get evaluated and we'll go from there. They'll continue to go through this process and when they're ready, 100% ready, they'll play."

Brooks also suggests that Westbrook would be the more likely to return as early as Friday when Oklahoma City take on the New York Knicks.
