Cameron Payne bypassing surgery a 'reasonable option,' doctor says

Questions abound when it comes to Thunder guard Cameron Payne and his decision to bypass surgery to heal his fractured foot.

To provide more clarity, The Oklahoman spoke Thursday with Kenneth S. Jung, M.D., an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle surgery at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. In 11 years with the clinic, Jung and his colleagues have worked with numerous professional sports teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks (NHL), Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels (MLB), and the Los Angeles Spark (WNBA).
