Today the Oklahoma City Thunder announced reigning MVP Kevin Durant will be out for approximately 6-8 weeks due to a Jones fracture in his right foot. Thunder GM Sam Presti released this statement in regards to Durant:
“After practice yesterday, Kevin made us aware of discomfort in his right foot,” GM Sam Presti said in a statement released to media. “We proceeded to perform the necessary imagining studies to determine the cause of his discomfort. At this stage, Kevin has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture. Traditional treatment of this injury requires a surgical procedure and recent NBA cases have resulted in a return to play in 6-8 weeks. We are in the process of collaboratively evaluating the most appropriate next steps with Kevin, his representatives, and Thunder medical personnel. Until a course of action is determined, we are unable to provide a timeline specific to Kevin’s case.”
So yeah, it’s all on Russell Westbrook now and that could go either way. Buckle up.
