Kevin Durant: knocked out by injury

Four-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, last league NBA Most Valuable Player, will be sidelined indefinitely by a broken right foot, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced Sunday.

Durant, who complained of pain after a Saturday workout, will require surgery for the break at the base of the small toe, which typically takes six to eight weeks of recovery time.

That would sideline the 26-year-old playmaker for at least the first month of the upcoming NBA season.
