Vote: Will the relationship between Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook ever heal?

Stephen A. Smith believes All-Star Weekend will be an important test to see if Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook's relationship will ever heal.

"Maybe that happens," Smith said of the possibility that the two players repair their friendship during All-Star Weekend. "But if it doesn't happen then, it won't happen anytime in the foreseeable future in my estimation."

Before the Golden State Warriors' 121-00 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, the two All-Stars did not acknowledge each other before tipoff. In the third quarter, it appeared that the former teammates did exchange words following a crossover from Durant, but Westbrook denied it happened.

"What exchange?" Westbrook said after the game. "You need to sit closer to the game; maybe you didn't see it clearly."

Durant finished the game with 40 points. Westbrook scored 27 points and notched his 21st triple-double of the season. Durant will make his return to Oklahoma City when the Warriors play the Thunder on Feb. 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
