Kevin Durant plans on returning to Oklahoma City for Nick Collison's jersey retirement ceremony on March 20th. The Warriors play the Pacers the following day.

"That group was so special, that whole group from 2010 until I left there, it was special. It's about time for us to let go of all that extra stuff, and just come together -- especially around this time, because it's Nick," said Durant.

The Thunder are aware of Durant's plans and will happily accommodate him. Several ex-Sonics and Thunder teammates are expected to be in attendance.

Durant's return has no bearing on his free agency choice this summer as both sides have moved on.
