Durant won't play in summer league: Reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant won't be making a return appearance in summer league play Thursday night in Orlando. Oklahoma City said it was holding Durant out, though the forward said earlier this week he wanted to compete against the Miami Heat's Michael Beasley. The two are friends, and fellow No. 2 overall draft picks. (Updated 07/11/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Durant made a surprise appearance Tuesday, scoring 22 points in a 100-77 exhibition win over the Orlando Magic. Durant was a bright spot during a dismal basketball season in Seattle. The Sonics won only 20 games, and the owner is moving the team to Oklahoma City. He ended the season with his best overall game as a pro, scoring 42 points with 13 rebounds and six assists at Golden State in a hint of what's to come for the burgeoning star. He'll be selected in the early rounds in most Fantasy formats next season as a possible No. 1 guard option with high upside. Not playing in the summer league is a good thing as it will keep him out of harm's way. (Updated 07/11/2008).
