Enes Kanter sat in the Thunder locker room with his right forearm wrapped in ice Monday night.

It was a scene which seemed better suited for someone who actually played. The key was that Kanter was castless in his continued recovery from a fractured forearm.

With a grin, Kanter said he knows when he's coming back, but he wouldn't tell. He doesn't want to put pressure on the Thunder organization or himself with a definitive date.

Kanter was projected to be out four-to-eight weeks, with a re-evaluation scheduled for four weeks after his surgery date. Kanter had surgery Jan. 27, so his re-evaluation mark is projected at Feb. 24 – a day after the NBA trade deadline.
