If you're looking for fun opening night storylines in the NBA, it doesn't get much better than Warriors vs. Nets on Tuesday.
The last time we saw Kevin Durant in official NBA action, he suffered an achilles injury with the Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals. Now he's with the Nets, and after sitting out the entirety of the 2019-2020 season, he's finally back and looking to retain his status as one of the league's top players.
In two preseason games, Durant logged 51 total minutes and tallied 40 points on 14-of-28 shooting. There were questions about Durant's mobility after coming off a significant injury at 32 years old, but he certainly looked up to the task in both outings.
Of course, Durant's return isn't the only one that's been highly anticipated: Stephen Curry missed most of last season with a broken left hand, though he did briefly return in March before the NBA suspended play due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Warriors weren't invited to play in the bubble, so it's their first time playing competitive basketball in nine months.
