Yea I usually dont even open these...and it was so recent a google search shows almost no results but....



Kevin Durant’s 2014-15 season is already off to a rough start. The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Sunday morning that the reigning MVP will miss 6 to 8 weeks after he was diagnosed with a Jones fracture in his right foot that will require surgery. According to the statement released by general manager Sam Presti, Durant complained of pain his foot after practice Saturday. Presti acknowledged that most players miss 6 to 8 weeks following that injury, but he would not give a specific timetable for Durant’s return.

Oklahoma City (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/okc/oklahoma-city-thunder) will be without Kevin Durant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3202/kevin-durant) for an undetermined amount of time, as the Thunder star has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture in his right foot.
The team announced Durant's injury in a press release, noting that this type of injury usually requires surgery and 6-8 weeks of recovery.
"We are in the process of collaboratively evaluating the most appropriate next steps with Kevin, his representatives, and Thunder medical personnel," general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. "Until a course of action is determined, we are unable to provide a timeline specific to Kevin's case."

He has to play at least 58 games to qualify for league leaders...if he misses 8 weeks it will be at least 15 games...more likely 17. If it lingers someone might get a scoring "title" they dont deserve. And there are all NBA team minimums but I dont remember them.

Not that it really matters....but it came to mind.

NBA.com says 58 games but they added this:



* The only exception to this rule will be if, at the end of the season, the player would have led the league in the category had he played the required number of games with his current category total.

For example, if Player A played 56 games and scored 1,590 points (28.4 ppg), Player A could still qualify for the league lead if his average (27.4) with that same point total (1,590) over 58 games was higher than any other player.

A past example: Gerald Wallace collected 138 steals in 55 games (2.51 spg) during the 2005-06 season. Wallace would have still led the league in steals because his average with 58 games (2.38 spg) would have been greater than the 2.28 spg of Brevin Knight, the leader among players who met the 58-game qualifier.

So I guess they do that instead of the old totals minimums.

Seems needlessly complicated...

"He underwent tests and the team says he was diagnosed with a "Jones" fracture." - via espn

___

Treatment

If a Jones fracture is not significantly displaced, it can be treated with a cast, splint or walking boot for four to eight weeks. Patients should not place weight on the foot until instructed by their doctor. Three-fourths of fractures treated like this should heal.


In the case of acute fracture in an athlete, a dynamic compression plate can be placed on the tension side of the fracture, K-Wire with Monofiament wire in a figure 8 fashion due to the nature of a transverse fracture. Internal fixation with cortical or cancellous screw would require an oblique fracture that could be addressed through "The rule of 2's" in regards to Internal fixation with screws.


Prognosis

If a Jones fracture fails to unite (malunion or non union), which is a common problem with these fractures, it can become a chronic condition. If this is the case, podiatrists will likely recommend that the patient spend more time in a cast, up to twenty weeks.

For several reasons, a Jones fracture often does not heal. The diaphyseal bone, where the fracture occurs, is an area of poor blood supply. In medical terms, it is a watershed area between two blood supplies. This makes healing difficult. In addition, there are various tendons, including the peroneus brevis and fibularis tertius, and two small muscles attached to the bone. These may pull the fracture apart and prevent healing.

http://www.southfloridasportsmedicine.com/jones-fracture.html

If the x-ray does show that the bone has fractured in the region with poor circulation, conservative and surgical treatment options are offered. Conservative care includes a nonweightbearing cast for eight weeks. A return to sports may be 3-4 months. There is a high risk of refracture to this area in athletes with a high arch foot. In those patients surgical treatment may be performed initially to allow the fracture to heal more rapidly and return the athlete back to their sporting activity. This would require nonweightbearing for six weeks in a boot. Athletes can usually return to activity following the use of screw fixation in approximately 10-12 weeks.


Last season Chris Singleton had the same injury on Sept 18th and did not return till Nov 28th. Almost 10 weeks later.

I will be shocked if the Thunder don't take there time and let Durant have time to heal.

KG215
10-12-2014, 02:44 PM
The last two Octobers and last two Mays have been a f***ing nightmare. Why the hell can we just at last being the regular season without one of our best players in street clothes, and get through an entire playoff run relatively healthy?

In the grand scheme of things, this ultimately probably isn't a big deal. KD misses 10-20 games, comes back in early December, and is good to go for the playoffs. However, foot injuries worry me and it also could be the difference in the 1 or 2 seed and a 3 or 4 seed.

Not sure if it was his actual twitter account, but Tim Grover posted KD should have a 10 week recovery (if he were in charge). Zach Lowe posted that KD, if out for a full 8 weeks, will miss ~20 games. I'm not too sure what the plan of action will be, what the timetable will be, or how many games that he'd miss in that estimated time frame.

Safe to stay he's definitely missing the first month of the season, but beyond that, I'm not sure. Lowe also said they don't want to wear out Westbrook considering how injured he was last season, so that's another thing to consider.

Wouldn't be surprised if OKC is careful in bringing back KD slowly and monitoring Westbrook's workload. If they're all healthy come playoff-time, they can beat just about anybody. Match-ups will be key, but this team just needs a full cast that's relatively healthy (for once).

Not sure if it was his actual twitter account, but Tim Grover posted KD should have a 10 week recovery (if he were in charge). Zach Lowe posted that KD, if out for a full 8 weeks, will miss ~20 games. I'm not too sure what the plan of action will be, what the timetable will be, or how many games that he'd miss in that estimated time frame.

Read my thread titled Jones Fracture Info. This injury is a 10 to 12 week recover and could be 4 to 6 months. This 6 to 8 week is garbage

Thanks for the info! I checked your thread out. :cheers:

I need to clarify: 6-8 weeks is just for the fracture itself to heal, in Grover's words, not a set return date. He thinks 10 weeks is pretty intense, but doable if everything goes according to plan. I guess OKC is still gathering info and will decide how to approach this. I'm guessing they err on the side of caution.

6 to 8 seemed to come out right away from reporters but I have not heard it from the team or player. I think a lot of people are gonna be pissed when they find out it might be 3 months

What you talking about man? Kyrie JUST suffered a serious ankle injury! I might go as far as to say Lebron is the most cursed superstar in NBA history. Finally get's a decent roster in 2010, and then Wade declines off a cliff after just one season together. Then we have Bosh missing half of Miami's 2012 playoff run. Then we have Danny Green making 90 percent of his 3 point attempts through 5 games of the 2013 Finals! :facepalm
It's a testament to Lebron's greatness that he has 2 rings despite the fact that things are ALWAYS going against him. :bowdown:

It's a stress related injury, definitely would of been worse if he chose to play for USA. Derp

Losing Durant is gonna be way more punishing then when we lost Westbrook. At least we had Jackson to play PG and do a decent job, we have next to no depth at SF.

Honestly, this is not that big a deal. It's a relatively minor fracture, and the season hasn't even started yet. He will probably only miss the first month, which is not going to change their championship chances much, if at all.

Not worried one bit. Wouldn't be surprised if he's back in the first week of November.

Looks like he will miss the first 1 to 1.5 months of the regular season.
