I also saw somewhere that he’s having surgery. Why the hell did it take so long to make that decision? Let the dude get a jump start on his recovery for next year
He is having surgery
Apparently there was a belief he could both avoid surgery and return for the season. It's not like this will have an impact on him getting ready for next year. I think its very reasonable for a player to ideally want to avoid surgery
What I would like to know, is the surgery is listed as a abdominal/groin surgery.
So I'm not sure exactly what happened there. Apparently a sports hernia can cause an abdominal hernia if untreated. So it's possible he's needing two seperate (albeit incredibly simple) surgeries.
More concerning however would be that the recurrence rate for abdominal hernias is significantly higher in people doing strenuous exercise.
So hopefully it's jsut the original groin injury and not both
