Jazz C Enes Kanter will undergo minor surgery to repair damage in his left shoulder, per a source. He's expected to be back in month or so.

good for him, I hope the surgery goes well. seems like from what I have heard from friends with this injury, surgery is the best option for long term repair.

Thanks for the update.

As much as I'd have liked to have seen Enes back for the playoffs, I'd rather he be all healed up and good to go next season (hopefully for an increase in minutes).

The big worry now is if the jazz see this as a reason to re-sign big al
 
Perhaps this is more correct info.

Enes Kanter's agent says he is in Chicago, not NYC, meeting with doctors. Surgery "is an option" but recovery would be "not one month."

"Odds are absolutely in favor of the surgery" for Enes Kanter's dislocated left shoulder, agent tells @sltrib.
 
Enes Kanter is in Chicago, not New York ... I think he lives there in the off season .. that way he can have the surgery and call it good for the year...... in his home environment so to speak

He spent most of last summer in California. I don't have a clue what his plans for this summer are.
 
How likely is it that Kanter and Favors both will start next year?

Our management is unpredictable. They kind of avoid to do moves that are obvious.
 
Good for Kanter if he gets surgery I guess. He probably should've been doing all of this research when it happened but hopefully he doesn't make a dumb decision like not get surgery on something that will require surgery to get close to 100% eventually.

Agree. The worst solution would be to wait 2-3 months and then discover he needs surgery. It's not just being available for training camp and the start of the season...it's being in shape, getting the reps with his teammates, developing chemistry with (hopefully) fellow starters in Favors, Hayward, Mo (likely) and whoever the Jazz have at the other wing.

First and foremost, it's taking care of an injury so it stops being an injury. I'm not an expert, I just know that generally speaking, if something needs surgery in order to heal optimally, then it needs surgery ASAP otherwise it will heal wrong which is a bigger problem because it then takes on a level of permanence that wasn't necessary.

Enes Kanter's priority list for the foreseeable future (in order):
1) Recover from injury as best as possible.
2) Everything else.

on this someone says the comment

"Not sure if this is the Jazz PR machine at work here, but the type of surgery he is having (labrum repair) is NOT minor. I had mine done and it didn't feel normal until about 18 months after the surgery, despite intense physical therapy 3 times a week."

I take random people's comments very seriously btw.

I haven't seen in any article or heard that the surgery was a Labrum repair surgery. Where are you getting that he damaged his labrum from? If it is a torn labrum he could be out 4-6 months or longer.

The elephant in the room would be whether his rotator cuff is torn. That could take a couple of years to return from.
 
It looks like he is going to have surgery for sure, tomorrow:

SALT LAKE CITY (April 9, 2013) – The following is a medical update on Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter:

Following several medical consultations, it has been decided that Enes Kanter will undergo a surgical repair on his injured left shoulder. The procedure will be performed on Wednesday, April 10 in Chicago by Dr. Guido Marra. As a result, Kanter will miss the remainder of the season.

A return-to-activity timeline will be determined following the completion of the surgery.

Kanter (6-11, 248, Turkey/Kentucky) appeared in 70 games (two starts) for the Jazz in 2012-13, averaging 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting .544 from the field in 15.4 minutes per game as the second-year center improved his averages in every major statistical category over his rookie campaign. The 20-year-old Jazzman scored in double figures 22 times, with two double-doubles, including a 23-point (10-12 FG), 22-rebound performance in a March 1 win over Charlotte.

Kanter suffered the injury at the 10:23 mark of the second quarter of the Jazz’s 103-88 win over Phoenix on March 27 and has not played since. Prior to his injury, Kanter had seen action in 136 of a possible 138 games over his first two seasons with the Jazz, including all 66 games as a rookie in 2011-12. Kanter was originally selected by the Jazz in the first round (third overall selection) of the 2011 NBA Draft.

I really hope this isn't a really serious injury. Kanter is the centerpiece of my hope that this team will be great again.
 
You can bet that the Jazz will re-sign Jefferson for sure, now. There is no way they will pass on Jefferson without knowing that Kanter will be 100% next season, and they won't know that by the time of the July FA signings.
 
Why couldn't of this be Big Al? Oh, that's right because he never dives on the floor for loose balls.

I could only see Big Al dislocating his shoulder by pump faking too hard.
