Durant (foot) is yet to feature this season and Westbrook (hand) has missed most of the campaign, seeing the Thunder (3-11) struggle.

But they rejoined team-mates in practice on Saturday.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks said: "They've been with the group the whole time, but this is the first day they've participated in some of the drills."

The Thunder are bottom of the Western Conference, but power forward Nick Collison is already looking to the star duo to inspire their side on return.

"It was good to see them back," he said.

"It gave us a little energy boost. We're looking forward to getting them back whenever they're ready. Obviously they're going to help us win games."
