Kevin Durant has said that it "felt good" to return to action after a spell on the sidelines with an ankle sprain during the Oklahoma City Thunder's overtime win over the Phoenix Suns.

The reigning league MVP finished the game with 44 points as the Thunder wrapped up a 137-134 win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The forward told reporters: "It felt good. My teammates were running plays for me and getting me open shots. I just tried to finish for them. My shots felt good and that win felt better."

Durant missed the start of the season with a broken foot, restricting him to just 10 appearances so far this campaign.
