It may not be long before Kevin Durant once again plKevin Durant joins Warriors warm up and shoots jumpers before gameays for the Golden State Warriors.

After missing his team's last 10 games, the former MVP and four-time scoring champion was seen shooting jumpers before the Warriors' matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He appeared to be moving well and does not look hampered by his injury.

Durant injured his MCL back on February 28 against the Washington Wizards and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain and a tibial bone bruise. He was scheduled to miss the remainder of the regular season and will re-join his team once the playoffs start. However, all signs are pointing to him making an earlier return, which is definitely good news for the Oakland faithful.

Should he play in any of their next few games, it will allow the 28-year-old to get his feet back and shake off any rust he may have after missing three weeks of action. It will also benefit the Warriors as it will allow him to get back to game shape even before the start of the postseason.

The Dubs uncharacteristically lost four of their first six games without Durant but have since found their groove once again and are currently on a four-game winning streak. His return will definitely be a huge boost to them and will help them secure the top seed in the Western Conference.
