    Default Jones Fracture Info

    Chris Singleton had one last season. The news broke on September 18th. He did not see game action for almost 10 weeks on November 28th.

    Damian Lillard

    Articles from when Damian Lillard had the same injury say 10 to 12 weeks.

    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.

    So does anyone think that Durant going into a contract year is going to rush back. Or that the Thunder are going to rush him back knowing he is already thinking of leaving for the Wizards.

    This sucks for NBA fans, but the Thunders run might be over.
