Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook Spoke Last Month, Reveals Kendrick Perkins

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are apparently back on speaking terms.

Durant's close friend and former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate, Kendrick Perkins, appeared on TNT on Monday and said Durant and Westbrook talked via phone after the latter broke Oscar Robertson's record for triple-doubles in a season.

Michael Lee of The Vertical shared video of Perkins' comments:

Perkins also said Durant could eventually return to the Thunder. He added that Westbrook isn't the type of player who will leave Oklahoma City or recruit others to join him.

Still, it's a forgone conclusion that Durant will re-sign with the Warriors if he forgoes his 2017-18 player option.

Westbrook and Durant were teammates for eight seasons with the Thunder, but their 2016-17 meetings were icy to say the least after the latter bolted in free agency. However, they connected on an alley-oop at the All-Star Game, causing the Western Conference bench to have some fun with them:

While it seemed Westbrook and Durant weren't on speaking terms, that no longer appears to be the case.

At the moment, Durant has bigger things to worry about with his Warriors four wins away from an appearance in the NBA Finals after they finished their sweep of the Utah Jazz on Monday.
