Durant is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to right foot soreness.
Our View
Durant wasn't on previous injury reports leading up to Friday morning, so his status is a surprise. Between absences to teammates Devin Booker and Bradley Beal (back) throughout the start of the season, Durant has been putting up MVP-caliber numbers of 31.4 points on 53/52/89 shooting, 7.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 36.9 minutes. However, a matchup against the 3-11 Grizzlies does present itself as an opportunity for the 35-year-old to rest. If Durant is sidelined, more usage should go to Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Eric Gordon and other playmakers, while forwards such as Keita Bates-Diop and Nassir Little could see more minutes.
