Bojan done for the year

Shane is a hand surgeon here locally (he has more detailed replies under this discussing recovery).

Jazzfanzz cries because a player needs surgery? Seems about right, I hope Bogdonavich comes back in top shape

The irony.

Remember when you cried because people brought up a sexual assault you would have rather brushed under the rug?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

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.

I had a hairline fracture. The doc said it should be fine without casting it. It's gotten better and I can move my wrist, but I can't do anything that requires force without it hurting really bad e.g. pushups, weeding, can openers, playing guitar for an extended period of time.

I ride a dirt bike and I follow a Utah dirt bike page. I've heard from several people that wrists take a year or two to not hurt anymore. Granted, I'm only two and a half months out but it's crazy to think a hairline fracture heals more slowly than a shattered collarbone that required two surgeries.

This sounds like the same injury Adrian Dantley had when he played for the Jazz and same surgery.

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.

My understanding is that elective surgeries were cancelled out of an abundance of caution to help prevent a shortage of PPE and other disposable medical equipment. That's the explanation my vet gave me when he cancelled my dog's neutering appointment and it's the same explanation my sister got when she had a gall stone attack.

So who moves up in the rotation to take his minutes when the season returns?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He waited to get the surgery because he’s a ****ing terminator and wanted to play in the playoffs. The longer he waited the more the following season would have been effected. It also is something he likely aggravated several times after the original injury and just didn’t heal right. Hand injuries you can sometimes play through but you will get hit so many times that it’s bound to get reinjured.

The timing seems right. He waited a reasonable amount of time but the season looks like it has a 50/50 shot of being finished and won’t startup for at least 6 weeks... so now the offseason likely shrinks and there wouldn’t be a recovery.

Im worried we lose two seasons of basketball. Some predicting the winter could be a huge second wave... if they plan on starting after Christmas for next year that might run right into the second wave.

Joe takes his minutes. Niang gets more run... Brantley or Oni likely get some playing time.

It also seems from some twitter exchange that he would be unable to play even if the season came back.

I'm definitely not happy that Bojan is out for the year. We needed his offensive firepower for the playoffs but it's a no go. We're a 2nd rd playoff team at best atm and with Conley Island running the show somewhat, I'm less hopeful for the playoffs.

Maybe Ed Davis will be our savior.
