    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Larry Harris, GM of the Bucks, said Tuesday that Bobby Simmons is likely to undergo two surgeries to repair three areas in his injured foot during the next four weeks.

    Simmons will have bone spurs removed in the first procedure and the second surgery will include the removal of a cyst on his heel.

    The second surgery also will address the plantar fasciitis that has plagued Simmons since last season.

    "In the next couple days, we'll have a more definitive plan, but we're working with the doctors on what that plan is going to be and when Bobby will wind up going out to L.A., and how that's all going to take place," Harris said.</div>
    Ouch, this is a huge blow for Bobby Simmons. He's a pretty solid player as well, he provides some shooting, some size, and some strength at the SF and SG positions. It's a good thing Milwaukee has a bulldog in Ruben Patterson to make due with Simmons' absense.

    But a cyst in his heel, plus plantar fasciitis? OUCH.
