Foot injuries are a particularly scary omen for basketball players, with the specter of names like Yao Ming and Bill Walton floating over every player that goes down with one. Kevin Durant's season officially came to an end Friday as the Thunder announced a second surgery to repair a Jones fracture that has seen what the team termed "regression" after initially showing significant signs of progress.

According to the Thunder, the chances of a setback were pretty minimal, but not at all nonexistent: 

Durant isn't the first player to suffer this kind of setback following a Jones fracture, though it is tough to track down a complete list. Earlier in the season, InStreetClothes.com attempted to track down every player who has suffered a Jones fracture, including eight who suffered a reoccurrence of the issue.

Five of those players opted for surgery to repair the setback, and it's tough to take too much out of this with such a small sample size. A few of the players' NBA careers were seemingly cut short, but then, it's possible Damion James and Rodrigue Beaubois weren't long for the league. There isn't much history of a superstar going through this issue; in fact, the closest example might be…

Brook Lopez: 74 games played in season following first surgery; 60 games (and counting) played in season following second

Lopez's 2011-12 season was completely lost to the injury, but he played his best ball ever in 2012-13 and appeared to put the issue behind him. However, midway through the following season, he had a reoccurrence of the issue and underwent a second surgery; like the first, that one has held through the following season, but we aren't far enough removed to claim it as a success.

Ricky Davis: 48 games played following first surgery; 82 games following second surgery

In terms of long-term health, this could be the best-case scenario. Like Durant, Davis' recovery from his first procedure was fraught with setbacks. He had his first surgery at the end of his rookie season, and was able to play just 48 games in the following season. The issue crept up again in the summer of 2000 and basically kept him off the floor all season, as he couldn't play until March and ultimately needed a second surgery to repair the fracture in June. That second surgery again appeared to do the trick for Davis, who was able to play at least 78 games in each of the next seven seasons, and was never listed on the injury report as having missed time with a foot injury again, per ProSportsTransactions.com.

Roddy Beaubois : 28 games played in season following first surgery; 53 games played following second

Beaubois initially suffered his injury during August of 2010, and was limited to 28 games during the following season before suffering a setback in June. He wasn't back in action until December, but remained healthy throughout what ended up being his best NBA season. He was out of the league following another injury-plagued season the following year, but it wasn't necessarily the foot that ended his NBA career.

CJ McCollum: 0 games played following first surgery; No second surgery

McCollum injured his foot at the end of his senior year of college, and besides some Summer League run, wasn't able to get onto the floor before his setback. He played just 38 games following his recovery, and has made it through an increased role this season without a setback so far.

Martell Webster: 1 game played following first surgery; 82 games following setback

Webster was able to play in just one game before suffering the setback, but he certainly counts as a success story with this injury; his long list of injuries since then does not include any foot issues since his second injury, as tracked by ProSportsTransactions.com. He had one of his only healthy seasons immediately following the setback, and that was without opting for surgery.

Glen Davis: 68 games played following second surgery

Davis represents one of the paths we hope Davis doesn't go down, and admitted his foot might never be the same following his second surgery. Of course, Davis outweighs Durant significantly and has still managed to avoid any sort of setbacks since that second surgery.

Damion James: 22 games played following first surgery

James' career basically never got off the ground, as he suffered his first occurrence of the break in December of his rookie season and was never able to get back on the floor consistently after that. That is hardly illustrative of Durant's situation, however, as James was a late first-round pick who was shooting just 35.0 percent at the time of his injury. It's possible the injury ended his NBA career, but James never really got a chance.
