He been talkin with KD about his bone graft surgery cause he getting the same surgery

Durant also confirmed the extensive measures taken in that last surgery to give him the greatest chance to widen the bone and avoid his foot faltering again.

Durant used a controversial bone-graft material that is not FDA approved for use in the foot to promote greater bone growth this time. It mandated a longer recovery time in part because of an additional procedure to protect against overgrowth of bone.

“They stuffed some bone-graft thing in, and they pasted over the top of the area. That healed up in a couple of weeks,” Durant said. “But then they stuck something else in there just to smooth it out and make sure it was thick. They did a lot.”

Durant broke the bone once and then turned to dramatic measures via this synthetic INFUSE bone-graft protein—the type of push-the-envelope medical choice that athletes increasingly are making to maximize their bodies’ possibilities. Robert Klapper, a Los Angeles orthopedic surgeon who was not involved in Durant’s case, equated the steps taken in Durant’s third surgery to “putting a belt on his pants—and suspenders.”

Hopefully it works, this the surgery Big Z got too

Man don't listen to that shyt, Sam Hinkie just said it's a 5-8 month recovery, it don't take over a year to recover from a bone graft

I'm very concerned that KD doesn't know what they put in his foot...

If I was a guy in line for a max contract in a year where scrub players are getting 60 million I would be sure to know every little thing that was going into my body and why it was going into my body...

fukked around and sewed dude foot up with some elmers glue and sticky tack
