I've never had surgery [on a basketball-related injury] before. I need to get it X-rayed more, get an MRI, then I'll decide. It was puffy during the season, but then, we kept poking it and kept draining it. So, hopefully, now we can see what's in there making it do that [swell up]."</div> Source I wasn't aware of his serious injury. Do you guys believe that this surgery could effect the Boston's 7th overall draft pick?
He's not having surgery, just debating on it. He's had bursitis for a while now, including all of last year...which was probably his best year statistically. If he chooses to have the surgery, nothing will change in the Celtics' plans. He should be fine for next season.
