Kevin Durant isn’t a fan of not playing in games, especially when he’s got the chance to show out against a former teammate that left the Oklahoma City Thunder on less than favorable terms.

KD didn’t have too many nice things to say about the Pistons when he spoke with reporters today ahead of the Thunder’s showdown with the team directly behind them in the standings, the Los Angeles Clippers (9:30 p.m. ET).
