Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks said there was no lineup changes for the team's game Tuesday night at New Orleans.

Yet.

Hmmm. Maybe Tuesday night is the night we see Kevin Durant for the first time this season. Durant hasn't played a game after fracturing his right foot in practice in October. The team will go through a shoot-around Tuesday in New Orleans and Brooks could make the decision to play Durant then.

"He's progressing well," Brooks said to The Oklahoman on Monday. "We'll see how he feels day by day. He's definitely moving in that direction."

The Thunder got Russell Westbrook back last Friday and rolled over the Knicks on the way to an easy win. OKC is at winless Philadelphia on Friday. 

Durant went through practice Monday, according to The Oklahoman and now has practiced with the team for the past week. Five of the practices have included contact.
