Look who's coming home.

The NBA is returning to Seattle sooner than most expected. According to the Sacramento Bee, the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings will play in a preseason game at KeyArena.

The game is scheduled for October 6.

The preseason game also marks the return of Kevin Durant, who spent his first season on the Sonics roster. That 2007-08 season was also the team's last in Seattle.

"The contract for the game has not yet been signed, but that is considered a formality," writes Ailene Voisin with the Bee.
