Foot, ankle surgeon waxes optimistic on Kevin Durant’s recovery from Achilles tear

Warriors expat Kevin Durant still can’t walk on his own, but a “renowned” foot and ankle surgeon anticipates a near-complete (if not fully complete) recovery for the two-time NBA Finals MVP.

Durant, 30 and in his 12th NBA season, tore his Achilles in Game 5 of June’s NBA Finals. Shortly after that, Durant left the Warriors and signed with the Brooklyn Nets as a free agent.

Recently Nets Insider consulted with Dr. Steven Weinfeld, a Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at Mount Sinai Health System, who isn’t ruling out a return to the court this season.
