OKLAHOMA CITY –€“ Kevin Durant will miss his second-consecutive game, coach Scott Brooks announced before Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Durant injured his ankle in the closing moments of the first half Thursday night against Golden State. 

Brooks said Perry Jones will get the start. Jones started against the Lakers on Friday. Brooks also said there is no correlation between the fracture in Durant's right foot, which kept him out of the team's first 17 games this season. Brooks said Durant is day-to-day and is feeling better.

"It's just a sprain," Brook said.
