SEE IT: Kevin Durant warms up before preseason game vs. Wizards originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
As the Wizards prepare to take the court in their first preseason action of the 2020-2021 season, fans got the chance to see a finally healthy Kevin Durant warming up in a Brooklyn Nets uniform.
In his first piece of game action since rupturing his Achilles injury in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals while still a member of the Golden State Warriors, Durant was seen warming up ahead of the preseason opener against Washington on Sunday.

Durant signed with the Nets in a sign-and-trade deal that sent guard D'Angelo Russell to Golden State, before Russell was traded to the Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins. After 18 months of rehabilitation and rest, Durant is set to play with his new star teammate Kyrie Irving as the power duo looks to make their mark on the Eastern Conference.
Irving, who also signed as a free agent with Brooklyn last offseason, has played just 20 games for the Nets due to right shoulder issues.
Durant's former Thunder teammate and Washington's marquee new star, Russell Westbrook, is sitting out of the Wizards' first preseason game.
