Life will be tough without KD, but Russ is ready.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will play their first game of the 2015-16 season without Kevin Durant this evening. Durant is out with a sprained calf, and won't be back for at least a week. Taking Durant's place will be Kyle Singler, who is listed as the Thunder's "probable" starter for tonight's game against the 76ers. Coach Donovan hasn't been willing to commit to Singler yet though, admitting that Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow were also replacement options. Given Morrow's lack of use over the past four games, his inclusion is a bit of a surprise.
