Bojan done for the year

Yours were far more essential than Bojan’s. That said, Utah hasn’t faced the same damages from Covid like we in NJ or other places in the country have so what @colton said earlier might be true.

That's true. Both cases are completely different.

My initial thought of him having surgery now is because his gut tells him on to the next season.

I give him props for toughing it out.

Nah, dude. He injured it late in 2019. He played through the injury. The season isn't going to continue so he opted for surgery now. I've had two surgeries during the pandemic.

I swear I read he injured it in December but probably a mistake on my end. Apparently, he injured it in January.

The season will start back up june 15th. I've been saying it since the cancellations began. If you look at any economic models 3 money making months is the max any multimillion dollar company can last being paused.

Enough of this. We need to offer a sacrifice to the basketball gods!

I propose PoliticalJazzFan as an offering (he might be rejected though)

I propose Conley. I read on Reddit that last time an NBA team threw a player into a volcano to appease the gods(in the 80s, if I understood correctly), the league allowed the remainder of the contract to come off the books and not count against the cap.

A difference, however, between an in-clinic injection and a surgery requiring general anesthesia (and the dreaded word "ventilator" that has dropped from the daily lexicon).

His wrist surgery requires general anesthesia? But still, Utah didn't come close to being in danger of running out of ventilators as far as I know. So I'd be quite surprised if that were the reason. But you're a doctor, right? So I guess you ought to know.

I broke my wrist and shattered my collarbone on February 29th. I had two surgeries on my collarbone. The collarbone initially hurt way more than my wrist.

That said, while my collarbone is all healed up and hasn't hurt for a while now, my wrist still hurts. Granted it hasn't been long but I keep reading things online about how wrist injuries sometimes never get back to normal. I imagine it's like when I tore my thumb ligaments in high school football. It feels fine until I use it.

Hopefully Bogey is in much better hands and has a quick recovery.

Ouch, sorry about your injuries. Sounds extremely painful. I injured my wrists several years ago. Didn't require surgery or anything, but took probably 6 months before they felt normal again.

Honestly, I haven’t read about what kind of procedure he had done, but based simply off it being season ending, the odds that this was done under general anesthesia go up, or at the very least having to be performed in an OR with some level of assistance from anesthesia. But the talk was of ventilator rationing and death panels, and despite the fact that it hasn’t happened, public policy lags significantly farther behind, and anything like that was put on hold up until a couple weeks ago. While individual outpatient clinics may have been opened, hospital ORs (for elective surgery) and surgical centers were closed. I think sometimes this gets lost because when people hear “elective surgery” they think something purely optional like plastic surgery.

His surgery is being done in New York, so it doesn't matter what the Utah rules are.

We’re talking about elective surgery across the board. And New York would have been an even worse place to try to get surgery done a month or two ago (if we’re sticking to the same context that brought up the question of why he couldn’t have gotten this done earlier).
