Kevin Durant assures fans he’ll be back after foot surgery
NBA superstar Kevin Durant took to social media Thursday night to let his fans know he was fine and taking it easy after surgery for a fractured bone in his right foot.
Durant, the 26-year-old small forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder, said he will be back, but for now he is chilling at home with friends.
LoadingI'll be back but for now I'm sittin back with my skins blankey and some sparkling ice with my homeboys @dbrookssss, @yeahlano, @thegoodz12 and @strackfamilyof6
Durant had surgery Thursday to repair a fracture in his right foot. Shortly afterward, he tweeted that everything went well.
Durant will be re-evaluated in six weeks, ESPN reported.
The Thunder are optimistic Durant can return after missing a little more than a month of the season, due in large part to catching the injury before it became more severe, ESPN reported.
