Kevin Durant will reportedly finally play in the NBA finals

And his return couldn't be more handy for the Golden State Warriors.

The star forward hasn't played since the second round Western Conference series against Houston due to a calf injury.

But ESPN reports the forward will return for this afternoon's game five against the Raptors in Toronto, with his side down 3-1 in the best of seven series.

Coach Steve Kerr earlier said it would be a game-time decision.

Tip off is at 1pm.
