    I have and it took a long time to heal primarily with rest and no crunches or heavy lifting. I tried coming back way to soon as I felt good but I would get cramping/spasm's that would bring you to your knees with pain.

    A member I won't name posted that he'd heard Dame "drinks like a fish". We gave him shit for it for a long time. Now it's an ingrained bit of sarcasm that that is ingrained in the board's culture.

    The rest of this year will be a good example of what it would be like if we "blew things up".
    Half a year of it is easy. Anything more than 1 1/2 years I think most fans would lose interest.

    What if we actually play better and sneak into the playoffs without CJ or Dame?

    Wonder how surgery fixes this? It’s not like a bone.

    good for dame man....

    as i have noted multiple times, every star has experienced at least one season where injuries get the best of them and they have to sit out. From MJ breaking his foot to Steph and his wrist. Even Lebron and his achilles/ankle injuries had this.

    In a circuitous way, I think this decision solidifies Dame's stance on remaining in Portland for his entire career. Just hope he has a successful procedure and a thorough rehab. I don't think anyone in the fanbase is disappointed today.

    Get healthy, develop Ant, and get a good draft pick. The one year reset.
