Anyone else sort of surprised by how many players have been injured so far this year? It's like the NFL.

i'm no doc obviously but wonder if has anything to do with the PEDs. Durant looked much more swoll in a recent interview I saw, like Lebron gave him his stash after getting on the wagon. Perhaps the excessive weight or force is too much for some of these guys. Like that Kevin ware injury, never seen anything like that in my life.

feel bad for Durant. I do like him despite the ref coddled team he plays for. Hopefully he doesn't rush it and does alright.

Durant has ebola. The foot thing is a CIA cover story. Wake up sheeple, OKC is just up the road from Dallas.

I refuse to root for injuries because it sucks when it happens to us.

This. Plus, after last years epic WCF, we need another go at it w/ them at full strength.

I'd be surprised to see him back in 8 weeks. The smart thing will be to manage his return as conservatively as possible. The club has to protect their franchise player and Durant has to protect his future earnings. The only that could potentially keep him from a max contract in 2016 is a second surgery from coming back too soon.

And that Harden trade is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

[EVAY]

I am genuinely sorry for Durant. But as someone else mentioned, our franchise player was hurt in our first attempt to repeat. Things like this are part of the game.

Kevin Durant has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture in his foot. He'll need surgery and miss 6-8 weeks.

Hmmm, must be named after Caldwell Jones and his brothers?

I don't feel bad for this dude at all. Ref baiting, never has the balls to put Westbrook in his place, trying to undercut Kawhi's finals performance, always talks to NBA fans on twitter, one of the leaders in Technicals because refs don't fall for his flops 5% of the time. OKC should be fine they still have their true MVP, Ibaka

Agree with everything except ibaka only plays like an MVP against us.

[KaiRMD1]

Yeah, sounds like Ibaka's "injury"

[Hoops Czar]

I feel bad for the Wizards.

Don't because the Wizards never had a chance.

[exstatic]

Unless they are publicizing the wrong injury, this is serious as a heart attack. He may never be the same player.

[xmas1997]

It really is. I don't mind though. No one gave a when Duncan got injured on the way to his first le defense and no one gave a when Juwan Howard injured Derek Anderson who was balling for the Spurs at the time. Just part of the game.

I remember both, we had such high expectations both times only to be shattered.

[FvckMavs]

He will be back in 10 days, just like ibaka in WCF.

Sounds like how Thunderup must've been feeling

He will be alright man, doubt this ruins his career as a superstar in this league.

To be fair regardless if DA is there or not (I wish he was but lets be honest) we were not beating that LA Lakers team that year who steamrolled through the playoffs. The Duncan one though I agree on, they had a shot if he was healthy.

Sounds like this could hurt his FT form tbh.

He lives there so that would be huge huh?
