*(Via Black Press USA) – Thunder star Kevin Durant had bone graft surgery Tuesday (03-31-15) for a fracture in his right foot, and the team expects he’ll return to basketball activities in four to six months.
The Thunder said in a statement that Durant had surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, with team medical personnel present.
The league’s reigning MVP had the third operation on his foot. The first procedure was last October, and he returned to play in December with some pain.
A screw rubbing against another bone was removed in February, and Durant was expected to return in one or two weeks. The pain persisted, and Durant consulted three foot and ankle specialists. They agreed to the bone graft surgery after it was determined pain was from the rubbing, plus regression in the initial break.
Durant appeared in just 27 games this season, averaging 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
