When the Brooklyn Nets newest GM, Sean Marks, traded Thaddeus Young for the Indiana Pacers’ 20th overall pick in the 2016 Draft, it was a move that showed he meant business. Rebuilding was in full effect, but the picking of Caris LeVert later brought out skeptics, as the 22-year-old battled foot issues as a senior with the Michigan Wolverines.
The injury he had was a Jones fracture, a break in the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. If that sounds familiar, Kevin Durant had the same injury.
