Kevin Durant is off the Nets' injury report and will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Miami Heat.

Durant has missed Brooklyn's last 21 games, and the Nets have lost 16 of them. Mixed in their rough stretch is an 11-game losing streak from Jan. 23 to Feb. 12.

Before the injury, KD was averaging 29.3 points per game, his most since he led the NBA with 32.0 per contest in his 2013-14 MVP season.

The Nets are currently the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind the Boston Celtics for the six-spot to avoid the play-in tournament after losing two straight to the Toronto Raptors.
