Enes Kanter Nearing Return

Enes Kanter was seen at practice on Wednesday in a Thunder practice uniform and Billy Donovan did not rule out a possibility of him playing Friday.

Wednesday's practice was a non-contact as Kanter slowly works his way back into playing shape. The Thunder center still has to pass several tests during a more physical Thursday practice such as defending in the post without pain and driving in the paint.

If Kanter can complete these tasks, the Thunder center should be given the green light for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Enes Kanter broke his forearm on January 26 against the Dallas Mavericks after he punched a bench chair. The Thunder announced Kanter would be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks.
