Kevin Durant has said that his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook will return to action against the Miami Heat on Thursday.
The point guard has been sidelined since December 27 when he underwent his third knee surgery since April.
"Next game right after the All-Star break, against Miami," the 25-year-old forward told Grantland when asked when Westbrook would make his comeback.
"He did a great job as another coach on the bench for us as well."
The Thunder are currently at the top of the Western Conference.
