We are the most cursed franchise in the history of the NBA. What voodoo have we brought upon ourselves?
I don't know if you guys caught it but after the game Stotts said he felt bad for Zach and it's hard for a young player to miss a significant amount of the season. That was probably a slip up but I doubt a few weeks would be "significant" so we're probably talking months.
Oh easily. Shoulder surgeries take atleast few months. We should shut him down and make sure he’s fully good to go next year. Luckily it’s his non shooting shoulder
that would be around 2 months and that doesn't seem realistic if it's a torn labrum. I haven't heard specifically what the surgery is to repair (has it even been reported?), but a torn labrum seems the most likely and that can be a 4-6 month recovery. Paul George had labrum surgery in early June, nearly 5 months ago. Zach hasn't even had the surgery yet. Assuming it's within a week, 4 months is March; 5 months is around when the playoffs start. 3 months is sometime around the all-star break.
True, but George had surgery on both shoulders. He had surgery to repair a right rotator cuff which has a longer recovery time. 6-9 months.
yes, but that's why they did that surgery first...so that the anticipated recovery and rehab times could coincide. From the people I've known who had labrum surgery, and what I've read over the years about athletes who have that surgery, 3 months would seem to be really tight. 4-5 months seems more realistic. Zach will likely miss most of the season, and might even miss the rest of it....that's assuming that Zach's surgery is a labrum repair; maybe it's not
