"This is more of a chronic problem that needs to be fixed at some point," said Jefferson, who started a second straight game on Monday night. "There's stuff floating around in my right ankle: little fragments, little pieces, little bone spurs. That's why it needs to be addressed. That's why it keeps flaring up. "They didn't tell me surgery. They told me there are things that need to be addressed if they don't improve. Hopefully ... you can address it in the offseason. I'm not saying surgery or anything. It could be surgery, it could not be surgery." -</div> Source
I saw this coming. He should get it now and come back at the end of the year or something close. It will be like 2 year ago when RJ is injured and comes back during the playoffs. Hopefully he heals quickly and can play good basketball like he used to.
He knows his body best. Maybe he just needs a few games + practices rest, with lots of ice and physical therapy for it.
^^ this could help us because they could start an energy player like Adams who can run the floor alot better than rj with two hurt ankles. Also adams is a solid defender but then again you dont know if he can be consistent.
