Kevin Durant to visit Oklahoma as member of Warriors in February

The Oklahoma City Thunder are tentatively scheduled to play host to Kevin Durant as a member of the Golden State Warriors for the first time in February, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Thunder's first home date of the season against Durant and the Warriors has been provisionally earmarked for Feb. 11, although changes to the schedule can still be made before the league officially releases the entire 2016-17 schedule, which is expected to happen within the next week.

Durant's first game against Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Thunder is tentatively scheduled in the second week of the season on Nov. 3 in Oakland.

Sources say the centerpiece of the league's annual Christmas Day schedule, meanwhile, is a rematch of the NBA Finals and a repeat of the Warriors-Cleveland Cavaliers showdown from last Christmas.

But this Dec. 25 meeting, sources say, is scheduled to happen in Cleveland, allowing the reigning champion Cavaliers to spend the holiday at home. Last Christmas, Golden State was the home team as reigning champs.
