(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder got one superstar back and are hoping an MVP will return soon, as they open a three-game road trip Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kevin Durant is nearing his season debut and has been out the entire campaign following foot surgery. Durant underwent the procedure in mid-October and had a fracture to his right foot repaired. Thunder head coach Scott Brooks doesnt have an exact timetable for Durants anticipated return to a team with a 5-12 record. Dont know, Brooks said. Dont know. We just want to continue to put up good days on top of each other. Well let you know at the appropriate time. Durant was hobbled by a Jones fracture, which is a broken bone at the base of the small toe. He earned his first career MVP award after averaging 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting over 50 percent from the field over 81 games last season. He became only the fourth player in league history to win four scoring titles in five years, joining Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and George Gervin. The slender scoring machine has returned to practice and continues to progress well, according to Brooks. Durant will soon join an Oklahoma City squad riding a two-game winning streak after a six-game slide. Russell Westbrook returned from a hand issue Friday and posted 32 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in just 24 minutes. He came out and played great, Thunder center Kendrick Perkins said of Westbrook. He was in playoff mode. You could tell when you walked into the gym yesterday. Brooks is happy to have one of his main contributors back on the floor. Russell makes players around him better, Brooks said Saturday. Thats what the great players do. Thats what he showed us last night ... who he is and what hes about. Serge Ibaka had 14 points and six rebounds, Jeremy Lamb scored 13 points off the bench and Reggie Jackson added 10 for the Thunder, who shot 44.2 percent versus the Knicks and had a 57-33 advantage in rebounds. Steven Adams pulled down a game-best 13 rebounds for OKC. Oklahoma City, which enjoyed a nice rest and had time to jell more as a team at practice, is only 1-7 on the road and will make stops in Philadelphia and Detroit on the road swing. The Pelicans have lost three in a row and are back home briefly after two unsuccessful trips to Atlanta and Washington. In Saturdays 83-80 loss to the Wizards in the second game of a back-to-back, Anthony Davis led all scorers with 30 points to go along with 13 rebounds. Jrue Holiday chipped in 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting and Ryan Anderson rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 points. We cant worry about this game or the game yesterday, said Davis. We have to come out and play. Do what we do, defend, and try to get some easy buckets. New Orleans shot 37 percent from the floor and made only 6-of-17 3-pointers. The Pelicans are 4-2 at home and will head west later this week to face the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and LA Lakers. Oklahoma City went 2-1 against New Orleans last season and had a 10-game winning streak in this series stopped with a 101-89 setback in the Big Easy on April 14. Tyreke Evans poured in 41 points in that one for the Pelicans, who are just 2-14 in the past 16 meetings between the teams. OKC has won six of the last eight trips to the Crescent City.
