"I'm very grateful for my time in the Bay Area. I'll always be a Warrior in my heart," Durant said while speaking about his time with the Warriors, excited to open the season. While the Warriors have Steph Curry back after his broken hand last October, they will be missing Klay Thompson – who injured his Achilles days before the season started. 

Kevon Looney, Marquese Chriss, and rookie James Wiseman will look to complement Curry, who has Eric Paschall, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, and Kelly Oubre Jr (acquired via trade), to help him start. However, Green will reportedly sit out the game due to a foot injury.

The Nets, at full strength with head coach Steve Nash, are already being hailed as playoffs contenders. Durant performed well during offseason, with Irving scoring 17 points in their last preseason encounter, entering the season on a high note.
