Q: What's going on with the ankle?

A: I can't play basketball. I can't run. I can't cut. I can't jump. I'm not just sitting out just because. If I could play I would play. But I can't play.

On a scale of one to 10, how bad would you say it is?

I don't really know. I just know that I can't really do what I want to do. I can't cut. I can't move. I can't run. So if I would just go out there and force it I would be terrible. I wouldn't be able to help my team out. It hurts.

It's been announced as a mild ankle sprain, but now with you missing your fourth game people are getting a little concerned that maybe it's something more than a mild sprain. Do you feel like it's more than a mild sprain? You've suffered sprains in the past. Ho w is this different than what you've felt in the past?

I mean, it hurts. I don't want to throw anybody under the bus. But it's not worse than what's happened before. It's not like I might have surgery or my foot is messed up. It's just I have a bad ankle sprain and it's the same foot that I had surgery on so it's kind of lingering over the top of the foot a little bit. So it's hurt.

I don't know man, but this was the concern with a lot in here. We questioned if OKC jumped the gun and brought him back too early.

I hope it's not permanent

They'll play it smarter now, no point in rushing him back. If he's not 100%, he doesn't do himself or the team justice.

I don't think you can say it's about jumping the gun because it seems like it's a completely unrelated injury.

If you read the article, the pain is on the top of his foot. The area where his pins and earlier injury was. So I don't know

I don't know if it's the same with adults.. But when I was a teenager x-rays/MRI showed nothing until a week or so later when I still complained to my parents about it feeling terrible.
Went back in got more x-rays/MRI and it showed I had broken a bone in my foot.

I know when my mother was in her mid 20's she broke her leg badly.. Every two weeks she went back in for a checkup they found more breaks. They totaled 6 different breaks all appearing at different times.

hopefully it's different than my experience with adult bones compared to a teenagers bones that are still growing. But it may not be.

Oh, well if that's the case, then yes... that would be almost identical to when we brought back Webster too quickly.

Did you get both x-rays and MRIs done each time or were you lumping them in together because you weren't sure which (not trying to be snarky, genuinely asking)? What you said is often true with x-rays, but not as much with MRI's.

Hoping for Durant's sake it's nothing super long term (like career-altering), but I am enjoying seeing OKC's record be where it's at. A little scary how much Westbrook, Ibaka, and Jackson have stepped up though. If only Batum would do that when we've had people out.

both times I had x-ray/mri done. x-ray happened the day of, MRI 48 hours later. Parents had their jobs to go to so couldn't take me the next day to see the MRI specialist.

Which is odd to me now that I'm an adult. I'd figure there would be an MRI machine in the ER. owell. maybe the hospital didn't have one.
