Kevin Durant had successful surgery Thursday on his fractured right foot. The Thunder announced the news by email four days after the team announced Durant had a Jones fracture in his right foot and would miss significant playing time this season.
Durant will be re-evaluated in six weeks. The Thunder will give another update on the NBA MVP's status at that point.
