Jodie Meeks to miss at least three months with broken foot

The Detroit Pistons announced today that Jodie Meeks will miss 12 to 16 weeks while he recovers from his Jones fracture. This timetable is a bit longer than expected considering it is double the original diagnosis Kevin Durant received last year for a Jones fracture. However, that could be due to the placement of the fracture and/or procedure needed.

Make it a fracture of his fifth metatarsal for Jodie Meeks. A 12-16 week time frame means a March return possible.

As was evidenced with Durant last year, this recovery can be difficult. Durant missed 55 games last year which ended his season. Meeks has a chance to be back for a playoff push should the Pistons be in the mix come March. However, it took a while for Jodie to regain his form last year. So let's hope he's ready for the first round.
